Lie Nielsen Skew Block Plane, bronze right hand version

Lie Nielsen Skew Block Plane, bronze right hand version

Based on the long unavailable Stanley 140, this multi-talented tool is
designed to deal with difficult woods using a combination of a low
angle approach, shear cutting action from the skewed and tilted blade,
and extra weight of the bronze body.
A retractable nicker scores cross-grain fibers, and the removable
side plate and adjustable fence allow quick conversion to rabbeting
and cross-grain work, such as fielding raised panels.
Available in a left and right-hand version, for occasions when you
need to approach the wood grain from the opposite direction.
The 1-1/2" wide x 1/8" thick blade has an 18° skew and is bedded
at 12° with a captive nut for positive and accurate adjusting.

    Body is 6-7/8" long x 1-7/8" wide.
    Bronze 2.15 lbs.,
    Iron 2.05 lbs.
