No. 40B Butt Mortice Specialist Plane
     
  Hinges, lock plates and the like can be quite a fiddle to cut accurately with a chisel, also time and cash consuming with a router and jig. Once you have mastered the simple technique and developed a working rhythm, the No. 40B makes quick, precise and neat work of the job. Hinges are set easily to the required depth in a smooth flat-bottomed recess with this plane, which can also double as a lightweight Scrub Plane. You can also use No. 40B to make surface repairs to your architectural woodwork or furniture.
It has the simple set up of basic bench planes but with an exceptionally wide mouth giving a clear view of the work area in front of the blade. Blade adjustment is by sighting along the sole and incrementally tapping the blade to the desired set. To make the final cut totally accurate, use the actual leaf of the hinge or whatever is being recessed to set the blade. Supplied with ductile iron body, bronze lever cap, A2 tool steel cryogenically treated blade, brass and steel fitments with cherry wood handles.

  Length: 245mm(9 5/8")
