I recently ran across several references to a 'planemaker's float' as a useful tool for making wooden planes. DAGS turned up a number of references and even an article on how to make them, but nothing describing how to use one.
The tool itself is a triangular-shaped rasp with coarse teeth and it is apparently used to tune up the throat on a plane. But what exactly does it do and how?
