Q: What is a shoulder plane used for?

It is a specialized rabbet plane built for trimming a joint to a perfect fit, especially the shoulder of a tenon, or for rebating work.

Q: How does the grip adjust to my hand?

A unique lever cap with a pivoting knob lets you adjust the plane to fit your hand and preferred holding style, with a concave knob that rests in the web of your hand.

Q: Does resharpening the blade require resetting the plane?

No, set screws along the side position the blade accurately and require no adjustment when you put the blade back in after sharpening.

Q: What size is this plane, and how much does it weigh?

It measures 7" long by 11/16" wide and weighs 2 lb.
