No, neither model is exclusively for right- or left-handed users. The choice is often based on which hand is dominant, but the two planes are complementary, since having both lets you handle any grain direction.
It is supplied with a 1/4" wide lapped A2 tool steel blade.
It works with any of our other plow plane blades from 1/8" to 3/8" wide, or metric blades from 4mm to 10mm, including the three Imperial sizes of beading blades, all available separately.
Only if they are small. For blades 1/4" (6mm) or larger, left-handed or right-handed blades can be used interchangeably. For blades 3/16" (5mm) or smaller, choose handed blades to match the plane's orientation.
The fence can be adjusted to offset a groove up to 2 1/2" from the edge of your work.
The adjustable shoe acts as a depth stop, permitting cuts up to 3/8" deep.
The 5" long fence has a face made of torrefied maple, fitted to a cast-iron base mounted on double guide rods.
