Description
This plane is a replica of the classic English Record No. 311 shoulder plane, originally designed by Edward Preston & Sons and produced from 1935 to 1984.
A highly versatile tool, it excels at cleaning up inside corners and refining parts for tight-fitting joinery. The blade extends across the entire width of the sole, allowing you to trim precisely into the corner of a rabbet or tenon’s cheek and can remove extremely thin layersdown to just a few thousandths of an inchcreating a perfect fit for strong, long-lasting joints.
Designed to function as three planes in one:
- Shoulder plane Use with the front extension piece in place for precise shoulder work.
- Chisel plane Remove the front extension for flush cuts in hard-to-reach areas.
- Bull-nose plane Install the included nose piece for fine detail work in corners and tight spots. Use the included shim with the bull-nose piece to increase the mouth opening as needed.
The body is precision-machined from ductile cast iron with ground soles and sides. Inside edges are finished with a baked-on coating. The 1-1/16″ wide cutting iron, made from hardened tool steel (55-60 HRc), is 0.110″ thick with a 25 bevel. The blade will need to be sharpened and honed before use. The blade is bedded at 20 and adjusted via a solid brass knurled adjustment screw. The handle is solid, polished brass.
Overall dimensions are 1-1/16″ wide, 7-1/2″ overall length, and 2-1/4″ tall, with a weight of 2-1/2 lbs.
Comes in a presentation box.
