Melbourne Tool Company - Large Router Plane

Working with hand tools is one of the great pleasures of woodworking. And to do this well, you need good tools. Melbourne Tool Company offers tools that are genuine, accurate and accessible. Tools designed for the woodworker in you.

If you want to create clean bottomed inlays, rebates or trenches, you will need a router plane. The Melbourne Tool Company Large Router Plane is the essential tool for creating precise clean bottomed inlays, rebates or trenches. A go-to tool for anyone who loves to work with wood.

The MTC Large Router Plane makes creating rebates and trenches with perfectly flat bottoms a breeze. It is ergonomically designed to be comfortable to use from a variety of angles and has an easy-to-sharpen blade. Whether you are creating grooves, dadoes, rebates or any other joinery recess, you can rely on the MTC Large Router Plane to improve the accuracy of your work.

Features:

• M2 High Speed Steel Blades offer high abrasion resistance which will increase the longevity of the edge, allowing for more time planing and less time sharpening.
• Unlike many other router planes, the blade is made from a straight square section of HSS steel set bevel-down in the plane at 50 degrees - the blade bevel is only present to relieve the cut. This provides you with a very effective angle of attack suitable for all types of trenching work, and a router plane that is extremely easy to sharpen.
• The Large Router Plane includes a fence with an innovative positioning mechanism that can be accessed from above the tool, so you can make fine adjustments while the plane is in situ. The fence can installed on either side of the plane, and the same installation holes can be used for attaching a softer sole to protect delicate workpieces.
