This Lie-Nielsen plane is an adaptation of the Stanley No. 95, a specialty plane not made for many years. It has an integral 90° fence, making its primary use trimming edge stock square. With appropriate angle blocks, it can produce various angles or widen dadoes and rabbets to depth.
This Lie-Nielsen plane is an adaptation of the Stanley No. 95, a specialty plane not made for many years. It has an integral 90° fence, making its primary use trimming edge stock square. With appropriate angle blocks, it can produce various angles or widen dadoes and rabbets to depth. The fence, coupled with a low-angled blade, makes these jobs simple and precise, with or across the grain, or in plywood. It also makes an effective small jointer when used with a straightedge clamped to the work.
The body is cast manganese bronze, a hard and durable alloy that gives welcome heft to this small plane, and each tool is carefully polished to a mirror finish. The lever adjustment moves the blade with almost zero backlash, making adjustment positive and exceptionally smooth. Available in left and right-hand versions, for occasions when you need to approach the grain from the opposite direction.
Specifications:
Body is 5-3/4" long
Width of cut is 7/8"
1/8" thick A2 blade hardened to Rockwell 60-62
Which plane to start with depends on what you will do, but for most people a smoothing plane (No. 4) or a jack plane (No. 5) is a good first choice. The smoothing plane gives smooth surfaces, and the jack plane is a versatile plane for both rough work and truing edges.
A block plane is a good addition for end grain and chamfers. The guide explains how the hand plane is built and which types exist.
Planes of cast iron and steel rust easily, especially in unheated workshops and from moisture on your hands. Wipe the plane after use and protect bare surfaces with a thin layer of wax or oil that will not mark the wood.
Store your planes dry, ideally in a plane sock or box. If rust has already formed, the guide shows how to clean and protect them.
