DEF

Le riflard utilisé dans le corroyage du bois est plus court que la varlope; on l'appelle parfois demi-varlope (long 55 cm). Il enlève de gros copeaux grâce à la ligne légèrement cintrée de l'arrête du fer. Son usage précède celui de la varlope.

OBS

De formes diverses et de longueurs différentes selon leurs usages, les rabots sont difficiles à classer en catégories nettes. Le «jointer plane» correspond à la varlope.
