Large Shoulder Plane Review
Large Shoulder Plane Feature
- 8¼" long, with a 1¼" x .140" thick blade
- Body is cast from Ductile Iron, the lever cap is Bronze
- Captive-nut blade adjustment
- Adjustable mouth and locking screws are large and convenient
- Mouth adjustment screw is captured in the toe piece and threaded into the body
This all-metal Shoulder Plane is based on the Record 073, which in turn was based on a Preston model.
The body is precisely ground flat and square - an essential feature for a shoulder plane. The blade is .005" wider than the body, bedded at 18 degrees with a 25 degree bevel.
This is a large tool, but the size gives excellent control even on relatively small work.
