Woodcraft Tools: Hand Planes & Accessories
in association with Woodcraft.com |
| Save money over the combined retail value of two of the most useful planes in any woodworker's arsenal of tools, and get a fitted case to protect your planes when not in use. Manufactured to exacting standards, these imported planes are virtual copies of the no-longer-available Record planes. Both feature heavy cast iron bodies, accurately ground surfaces, and high carbon steel blades. |
| With this opening quote, Stanley re-introduces their Sweet Heart logo with a new line of premium hand planes. If you're a woodworker, finding an old Stanley tool with their Sweet Heart logo is like finding a treasure and many consider these hand planes to be the best of the best.
These new planes were created with the input of users and engineers - combining science and the art of tool making to produce the best possible tool. |
| Because Lie-Nielsen's Low Angle Jack performs so well, he has developed the low angle jointer with the blade mounted bevel up at 12 degrees. Low angle planes are versatile, uncomplicated tools that do a great job on end grain and long grain in most situations. This well balanced tool is 22" long with a 2-3/8" blade, and weighs 7-1/2 lbs. |
| This group is based on the Stanley Bedrock, a series that offered a heavier, higher quality tool than Stanley's regular line of planes. The frog design features a fully machined mating fit between frog and body. With locking adjustment screws, precise frog adjustments can be made from the rear without removing the cap and blade. |
| Patterned after the highly collectible Stanley “Bailey” No.1 smoothing plane (originals sell for up to $750 today), this plane is treasured by cabinetmakers and collectors alike. The small 5-1/2" x 1-1/2" size is perfect for smoothing where larger planes are too big or awkward.
|
| Similar to the Bronze Bench Planes in features and design, these are made from ductile iron. Bodies are ground flat within .0015" over their full length and square within .0015". Tool steel blades are .145" thick (almost 5/32"), cherry handles and knobs. |
| Based on Stanley’s No.9, which was discontinued in 1943, a miter plane is ideal for many planing jobs on straight and particularly end grain. Its boxy construction is designed specifically for the tool to be on its side, with or without a shooting board, to shoot length, right angles, and of course, miters. A second knob is provided, and mounts on either the front left or right side to facilitate your grip. The 2" wide blade is set in the tool bevel-up at 20° with a 25° bevel, making this a very large block plane, with an included cutting angle of 45°. The Bailey type adjuster controls the blade easily and precisely even while planing. The mouth is fully adjustable. Sides and bottom are machine ground dead flat and square. Length of sole is 10-3/4". |
| Manufactured to exacting standards, these imported bench planes are virtual copies of the no-longer-available Record bench planes.
» Frogs are well machined and adjustable for control of the throat opening, depth adjustment knob is brass
» Hardwood handles and knobs have a hand rubbed finish
» Irons are high carbon steel and lever caps are chrome plated for added protection
» Soles are guaranteed flat to within 0.003" |
| Working closely with our own manufacturer, Woodcraft has succeeded in doing what hasn't happened in more than a century: producing a collection of hand planes that are meant to be used, and are surprisingly affordable.
» Modeled after the Bedrocks, Stanley Tool's very best line, WoodRiver™ planes feature the same heavy castings and fully machined frogs
» This arrangement reduces chatter by supporting the blade and helps to reduce tear-out when planing highly figured wood
» Lightly finished rosewood handles provide comfort and control
» Most importantly, the tools require almost no tune-up prior to use
» Soles and sides are machined flat and square within tightly held tolerances ensuring these planes are as close to ready to use as can be made |
