>I can't do you a translation of your piece of paper.

However, this site stocks the ECE scrub plane, and is bilingual.

German version


English version

If that doesn't do it for, you can get a very literal auto translation here, by typing in your German text.

If you want to look up particular words, here's a dictionary

If the words are woodworking specific, you may find this (from a German woodworking forum) very useful

>Thanks Bugbear,Alf. I had a feeling someone here would know something. I sent Emmerich an email.Their web site didn't help.

I'm going to try those links tonite.

This was just pure curiosity. That plane needs no instructions. Very simple but effective tool.---Jack

>Jack, my combo machine comes with "instruction" in German, Dutch, French, and English. According to it, hobel means 'plane'. I think it's a fair assumption that schropp equates to 'scrub'

>Hello Jack,

"Schropphobel" means scrub plane. Definitely. ECE calls its Scrub Planes "Schropphobel", whereas Ulmia calls its Scrub Planes "Schrupphobel". Both names represent the same type of plane.

As far as I know , a Scrub is called "Schropphobel" in the Northern parts of Germany, where the ECE-factory is located and "Schrupphobel" in the Southern parts, where Ulmia is located.

Greetings from Germany, Andreas

Greetings back to you.

>I kind of figured that. The thing I like about German is if you pronounce the words like they spell they sound similar to their English translations.I can usually guess at the meaning.But reading a whole text like this is too much.---Jack

>Hello Jack,

I do not know how long the text is, but maybe you can type or scan the text to this MessageBoard and I try to make a suitable translation.

>It's too long. I even scanned it and it's saved on my computer. But,I think if I tried to post it here ,after shrinking the file(I saved it as an image)It would be unreadable. It's one page of instructions. Also, I type one fingered and very slowly.

Thanks for the offer though. I sent an email to Emmerich,maybe they'll enlighten me.---Jack

Greetings from chilly but beautiful Colorado Springs!

"Zahnhobel"=Toothing Plane *LINK*

Andreas Winkler

>Hello Frank,

a "Zahnhobel" is a Toothing Palne. Used for preparing (that means roughen) wooden surfaces that have to be glued together.

"Zahn" means tooth. It is called Toothing Plane because of its toothed blade.

Greetings from (at the moment not that chilly, because much too warm for the season) Germany, Andreas
