While we’re more well known as a purveyor of woodworking machinery than a specialist in hand tools, we’ve been selling lower priced hand planes for decades. The lower tier hand planes serve a particular market that will always be there but over the years we’ve been consistently asked to develop a much higher quality line at a fair price. Several years in the making, we’re excited about the launch of these new hand planes.

All hand planes are cast from ductile iron and the soles ground flat. Each plane has a comfortable handle and knob which are made from sapele and finished with oil, offering great control of the plane in use. The blade is made from O1 and is hardened to 58-62 HRC which will take a fine edge. The chip breaker is made from CRCA steel and it greatly reduces the amount of tear-out in use. Overall, these planes offer a noticeably higher level of craftsmanship and the range will continue to expand.
