(2): ( a.) A tool for smoothing boards or other surfaces of wood, for forming moldings, etc. It consists of a smooth-soled stock, usually of wood, from the under side or face of which projects slightly the steel cutting edge of a chisel, called the iron, which inclines backward, with an apperture in front for the escape of shavings; as, the jack plane; the smoothing plane; the molding plane, etc.
(3): ( a.) An ideal surface, conceived as coinciding with, or containing, some designated astronomical line, circle, or other curve; as, the plane of an orbit; the plane of the ecliptic, or of the equator.
(4): ( a.) To make smooth; to level; to pare off the inequalities of the surface of, as of a board or other piece of wood, by the use of a plane; as, to plane a plank.
(5): ( v. i.) Of a boat, to lift more or less out of the water while in motion, after the manner of a hydroplane; to hydroplane.
(6): ( a.) Figuratively, to make plain or smooth.
(7): ( a.) Without elevations or depressions; even; level; flat; lying in, or constituting, a plane; as, a plane surface.
(8): ( a.) A block or plate having a perfectly flat surface, used as a standard of flatness; a surface plate.
(9): ( a.) To efface or remove.
(10): ( n.) Any tree of the genus Platanus.
