Axminster Workshop No. 90 Bull Nose Plane

The Axminster Workshop No. 90 Bullnose Plane has a body made from fine grey cast iron body, carefully ground, finished and polished for accuracy. The casting has a smooth rounded upper section and finger recesses on both sides for a comfortable grip. It can be used either right or left handed. This is the smallest of our cabinetmaker's rebate planes, the sole is flat and the sides are square to the sole. The 25.4 mm(1") full width blade is micro adjustable for precise control of the depth of cut. The blade is half a smidgen wider than the body. This is a feature not an error, it makes setting for work into corners easier. The mouth can be adjusted for fine or coarse work by loosening the slotted screw and moving the upper section, forwards or backwards. Removing the upper section completely, converts the plane into a chisel plane, this is particularly useful when working rebated frames, etc. A small set screw inside the front section ensures you retain the original mouth setting after disassembling the plane. The blade is O1 steel, and will require honing before use (putting a 30° micro bevel on the edge can be done in less than a minute). The blade is used bevel-side up.-bg
