Description

Your Melbourne Tool Company Low Angle Jack Plane is one of the most versatile tools you can have on your bench. Perfect for flattening, dimensioning and edge jointing. Build yourself a shooting board and plane end grain with ease. The three different blade types available makes switching between all this planes possible applications a breeze. And the easy blade adjustment and finely shaped timber handles will make it hard for you to put this plane down.

An uncomplicated plane

The Melbourne Tool Company Low Angle Jack Plane can plane any kind of wood yet remains an uncomplicated tool. The minimalistic design makes it easy to disassemble for maintenance and reassemble for work. The adjustment knobs and wheels are accessible and feature a very smooth action. The blades depth of cut is adjusted by simply turning the depth and lateral adjustment wheel. Slide the adjustment wheel side to side to skew the blade left and right.

12 degree bed

The blade is set bevel-up in the milled plane bed at 12 degrees providing you with a very low angle of attack. The blades fix down hard on the plane casting, so blade’s cutting edge is provided with maximum support no matter the workpiece.

3 angled blades available

The Low Angle Jack is supplied with a blade sharpened to 25 degrees. Along with the 12 degree bed, you now have an effective cutting angle of 37 degrees, perfect for jobs like end grain. Also available are blades ground to 38 degrees suitable for smoothing, and 50 degrees for smoothing figured material.

M2 High Speed Steel blades

The M2 HSS (High Speed Steel) blade has high abrasion resistance which means it will hold a sharp edge much longer than many other steels. This also means that it may take a little longer to bring up an edge, very similar to A2 steel, but holds the edge longer than O1 steel.

Easy and precise depth and lateral blade adjustment

The Low Angle Jack Plane features an easy to adjust, precise depth and lateral blade adjuster. Twist the knurled knob to set the depth of cut. Slide side to side to skew the blade within the plane mouth. The whole assembly comes apart easily for regular maintenance.

Adjustable mouth

The plane mouth is fully adjustable. Twist the front handle knob to release the toe. Use the mouth adjustment lever to set the mouth width opening to suit the work at hand. Close the mouth up tight to minimise tear out when working difficult figured materials.

Owner’s manual

Your Melbourne Tool Company plane is delivered packaged in a foam lined cardboard box. Inside is a QR code you can scan to download your Owner’s Manual.

Overall pretty happy with it

This was my first hand plane purchase (other than wooden Japanese style plane) , overall pretty happy with it. The first one I received had a loose knob that wouldn't tightened, never heard back from a warranty claim but the regular customer service email did quickly send me a new plane that is working great. Would recommend.

Favourite plane

I'm using the jack plane for a series's of shooting jig rolls at present the size is perfect. As stated the fettling of the plane out of the box was straight forward took about an hour great feel of stability to the angle adjustment all in all great work looking forward to next the next time maybe a block plane

A very solid plane with a weighty feel. A little tuning and it was ready for work. I'm sure I'll be using this for the rest of my life.
