Q: What tasks is this plane designed for?

Its size and mass make it well suited to trimming breadboard tenons, adjusting shoulders, or paring down tenon cheeks on larger work.

Q: How does this plane address the awkward grip of typical shoulder planes?

A reshaped lever cap fits properly in the palm, a hardwood knob pivots 180°, and the front knob can mount on the top or either side, with cast-in side recesses for an alternative grip.

Q: How big and heavy is this plane?

It measures 8 1/4" long by 1 1/4" wide and weighs 3 3/4 lb.

Q: Can I replace the hardwood knobs?

Yes, brass knobs are available separately if you would like to replace the hardwood knobs included with the plane.
