This low-angle bevel-up jointer plane is ideal for jointing edges and flattening panels. |
| |
12° bed angle, coupled with a 25° blade bevel, yields an effective cutting angle of 37° that minimizes fiber tearing. |
| |
The adjustable mouth is easily moved with the front locking knob. Can be adjusted to a narrow slit for fine shavings with minimum tear-out or opened wider for heavier cuts. |
| |
A unique stop-screw in the throat adjusts to whatever mouth opening is ideal. It lets you open the mouth fully for blade removal, yet quickly restores the exact mouth setting. |
|
Sole is 22" long and 2-7/8" wide. |
|
Body is made of stress-relieved ductile cast iron. Accurately machined, the sole is flat. |
|
Weighs 7-1/2 lb. |
|
Blade is 2-1/4" wide, 3/16" thick, made of either A2 or O1 tool steel. It is lapped on the non-bevel side to a flatness tolerance of 0.0002" or better over the working surface, and with an average roughness surface finish of 5 microinches (0.000005") or better. |
|
Optional 38° and 50° bevel blades and a 38° toothed blade are available. The 38° bevel blade yields an effective cutting angle of 50° (commonly known as a York pitch) and is excellent for general smoothing. The 50° bevel blade is best for working difficult or reversing grain, and the combined cutting angle of 62° produces a Type II chip that eliminates tear-out. The toothed blade is for working difficult grain, especially knots. |
|
Cutting angle stated describes the actual cutting angle where blade meets wood and is determined by a micro-bevel at the cutting edge; the blade's primary angle is typically a few degrees less. |
|
An optional bevel-up jointer fence enables you to shoot consistent and accurate square or bevelled edges. It is 11" long and can be attached to either side of the plane with brass thumbscrews. A set screw adjusts the fence square to the sole. The 2" tall face is used to plane edges perfectly square and can be used to shoot angles less than 90° by attaching a wooden guide to the inside face of the fence. Anodized aluminum. |
