Luban #1 Small Shoulder Plane #1 Shoulder Plane Hand Planes

Luban'sNumber 1 Shoulder Plane sacrifices nothing forthe smaller size Even at this small scale the design of this plane works astonishingly well. At 135 x 13mm, weighing in at around 350g, it is equally easy to use with one hand or two. The long lever extends beyond the adjuster, preventing inadvertent alterations to the blade setting in use, and the deep swoop at the front provides a nice positive rest for the thumb or forefinger. An adjustable mouth and a clever twin thread adjustment mechanism provide fine control of the blade position. The body is cast in unbreakable CR40, with a T10 blade and all other components cast or machined from stainless steel. Another refinement is that the lever is captive at low tensions, so the plane won&rsquot disassemble itself while you are making adjustments. In short, if this isn&rsquot the perfect cabinetmakers shoulder plane, it&rsquos very close to it. Luban No 1 Shoulder Plane Features Precision ground, unbreakable CR40 alloy steel casting.
