Lie-Nielsen No. 71 large router plane with open throat.
A router plane is a great tool for working shallow mortises: hinge gains, inlay, door locks, trimming tenons and the like. Lie-Nielsen router planes are loosely based on earlier Stanley models, but with an improved depth stop and adjuster. Also, the blade is held solidly in the body in a square broached hole (blades will not fit original Stanleys).
Specifications:
Ductile iron body, O-1 blade
8 1/4" (20.95 cm) long x 3 1/2" (8.89 cm) wide x 3 3/4" (9.52 cm) tall

The open throat design offers more visibility in front of the tool. The closed throat design is ideal for working on the edges of boards or cleaning out the end of a stopped groove in a rail or stile.
The Lie-Nielsen Router Plane Adapter allows you to use the specialty blades for the Small Router Plane in the Large Router Plane.
