Router planes are invaluable for work on stopped or through-dadoes and grooves, or for any work that requires an area cut to a precise depth. Our router planes are made to exacting standards, with ductile cast iron bodies and soles that are ground flat (on the regular and medium planes) or lapped (on the small plane). A unique spring-loaded blade-clamping collar holds the blade in position when the collar is loosened; it provides tactile feedback, allowing controlled blade adjustment. The collar can also be set to fully release for quick and easy blade removal. The blade may be positioned inboard for standard closed-throat use, or outboard, with the blade extending past the body, for true bullnose work. In the closed-throat position, the sole encircles the blade for maximum registration on the workpiece, even when approaching from the side or working an edge, and it bridges recesses for stability on narrow stock. Made in Canada (aside from the blades).
