No. 7 Jointer Plane, Lie Nielsen

Our most popular jointer. 22" (55.9cm) long, with a 2-3/8" (6cm) x .140" (3.55mm) thick Tool Steel blade. Ground flat, within .001" (.0254mm) over the full length, and square within .001" . Bronze frog and cap. 8¼ lbs.
Unlike Bailey pattern planes, the frogs of bedrocks have a full contact area with the body and can be adjusted fore and aft without the need to remove the irons. Simply loosen the two locking screws on either side at the back of the frog, adjust the central screw to set your desired mouth opening and then nip up the side screws again. This system is easier, faster, more accurate and less likely to damage the cutting edge.
