Melbourne Tool Company Low Angle Smoothing Plane
Description
Description
The Melbourne Tool Company Low Angle Smoothing Plane is the must have fine finishing hand tool to have on your bench. Its shorter body makes this plane perfect for finishing wooden surfaces. It produces a finish that equals or is superior to that made by fine sandpaper.
An uncomplicated plane
The Melbourne Tool Company Low Angle Smoothing 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 Smoothing Plane 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 Smoothing 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.
