If one side of an edge is too high, the plane can be moved overso as to plane that side only(Fig. 135). If the edge ofthe plane-iron is at all round-ing, it will then take off ashaving thicker on one edgethan the other (Fig. 136).If part of the edge is higheron one side and part on theother, making the edge wind-ing, the planing can be begunas just directed and the planeworked over to the otheredge as it is pushed forward(Figs. 135, 137. 138).
