Product Information

It is often sooner than this however different banks process these with varying levels of efficiency. The specially shaped lever cap, together with the machined thumb recess on either side of the body, provides both comfort and excellent control when shooting. The BEDROCK design uniquely allows the mouth width to be adjusted without dismantling the Frog and iron assembly. These planes are ready to use from the box and do not need hours of flattening and fettling to make them fit for use (though we appreciate many woodworkers will prefer to hone the cutting iron themselves.

Our craftsman produce an extensive range of saws under famous traditional brands that have origins in the 18th century. The Lever Cap is made from grey polished Cast Iron with the Screws and Adjusting Wheel from polished brass. The plane features a lateral adjustment lever that is used to ensure the blade sits square to the mouth opening.

Simply loosen the two locking screws on either side at the back of the frog, adjust the central screw to set your desired mouth opening and then nip up the side screws again. The accuracy of this mechanism allows for the Cutting Iron to be advanced to give a virtually "Zero" mouth opening, allowing the finest shavings to be taken even on the most difficult of timbers.

This bench plane's cutting iron is 2 3/8" wide and 3mm thick, increasing rigidity, with a hardness of 60-62 Rockwell C, and the cryogenic treatment means that these blades will hold their edge even longer.

The plane itself requires no flattening or fettling in prior to use, although the most users prefer to hone the blade themselves to their preferred cutting angle. After heat treating, the blade is fully surface ground on the top, back, and cutting edge, giving a smooth, flat surface that will take a mirror finish very quickly. The thickness of shavings I'm achieving with this plane, now that I've changed the battery in my Vernier caliper, are 0.As the frog extends right through to the sole, adjusting the frog to narrow the mouth does not reduce blade support as it does in standard planes of this style. For general work, set the end of the chipbreaker about 1/16" from the cutting edge of the blade; for the finest smoothing work, set it closer to the edge. Over the past two and a half years I have been using Tilgear for purchasing the tool kits for the Lee Marley Brickwork apprentices. You will appreciate the way this plane, with a toe that is one-third the length of the sole, registers to the work piece, and the authority it provides when planing. This ensures absolute stability of the Frog, providing a firm and solid surface for the cutting iron, this again rests on a fully machined upper side of the Frog.

His working knowledge and experience of sharpening and woodworking helped develop the improved plane blades that are presently in production and made entirely in Sheffield.
