Scanned the barcode into a google search, enhanced the image, routed it through a proxy server, reflected some swamp gas off a weather balloon and let the stack compile.

The Japanese style planes are different from occidental planes but this one comes functional and ready to use so there's no frustration or learning curve. You adjust it with a hammer, the instructions don't even need translation. Would work well prepping for the router if you're doing thinner pieces like picture frames and trim.

So i got this cheapo plane ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0026FBGR8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_DRLJDbGJMQ405 ).

I knew i would need to adjust it but eveything i find onlinee has a second metal piece on top(chipbreaker/top iron?) and a metal rod going across to wedge the blade in. Since the blade is wedged by the wood not the metal on this single blade plane would i still go about modifying it the same way in order to get the blade through the bottom. Feels like if i take away some wood it might not fit in the guiding lanes since without the steel bar and second metal piece holding it down it would be too loose?

It's a $10 japanese block plane from amazon. Bit of a pain to adjust.
