This Trying Plane (alternatively known as a fore or jointer plane) is ideal for truing and smoothing of any long wood surface or for jointing. Its length allows it to hit the high spots as it bridges the low ones. Works very well when used on a shooting board. Especially good on difficult or reversing grain.

• It is 18 1/8” long x 2 5/8” wide x 1 5/8” high.

• Weighs 4 lbs.

• Option of a blade made from O1 Tool Steel (O1 TS) hardened to RC 62-64 OR High Speed Steel (HSS) hardened to RC 62.

• Has a higher blade pitch of 60 degrees for planing hard, difficult, or figured woods.

• Blade is reversible to bevel up, effectively creating a blade pitch of 90 degrees, allowing the plane to act as a scraper. It’s two tools in one!

• The HSS is ideal if you plan to reverse the blade and use it as a scraper on hard woods, as it will retain the edge longer under heat. However, it will take longer to sharpen.

• Tapered handle allows the plane to be pushed or pulled and is removable.

• Made from Gidgee, a very dense and stable Australian wood.
