Faithfull FAIPLANE5 No.5 Jack Plane in Wooden Box

Product Information

This ensures absolute stability of the Frog, providing a firm and solid surface for the cutting iron, this again rests on a fully machined upper side of the Frog. Please find set out on this page the terms of business under which all sales on this web site are carried out.

The renowned design has a screw mechanism that allows the frog to be adjusted without removing the blade or lever cap, easily allowing the blade to be adjusted relative to the sole to adjust the mouth opening.The accuracy of this mechanism allows for the Cutting Iron to be advanced to give a virtually "Zero" mouth opening, allowing the finest shavings to be taken even on the most difficult of timbers. A light oiling on the threaded rod, the Brass adjuster nut and the lateral blade adjustment lever will keep them moving freely. We also manufacture Clifton hand planes which includes a wide range of premium quality bench planes, shoulder planes and spokeshaves. To adjust the mouth opening, loosen the two locking screws at the back of the frog; then turn the middle adjuster screw. The plane is fitted with a T10 high carbon steel tool blade which can take a keen edge, and that has been hardened to RC60-64 for maximum edge retention.

Please check your documentation for full details and any downloads available on the product page itself for further information.Our heat treating technique ensures that the blade will take and hold a very fine edge for a long time.

It is often sooner than this however different banks process these with varying levels of efficiency. Simply loosen the two locking screws on either side at the back of the frog, adjust the central screw to set your desired mouth opening and then nip up the side screws again.In fact, the combination of the mouth location and the very sensitive feed adjustment lets this plane serve as a jointer for most cabinet work. This bench plane's cutting iron is 2" wide and 3mm thick, increasing rigidity, with a hardness of 60-62 Rockwell C, and the cryogenic treatment means that these blades will hold their edge even longer. of 5° or 10° will increase performance, help achieve a razor edge quickly, and improve edge life in hardwoods. The frog can also be adjusted to widen or narrow the mouth of the plane without the need to remove the irons.

The Clifton Bench Planes are both highly attractive and functional tool that aim to give you an accurate and smooth finish. You should never need to dress this surface, but if you do, use a very fine stone and be sure to maintain the angle. The frog and frog seating in the body of these planes are based on the BEDROCK design, first seen on early Stanley planes, meaning the seating pad in the body is full face, fully machined to mate with an equivalent full face, fully machined underside of the Frog. The thickness of shavings I'm achieving with this plane, now that I've changed the battery in my Vernier caliper, are 0.This allows you to easily change the mouth setting from a coarse to fine cut for difficult woods or fine smoothing passes. The plane itself requires no flattening or fettling in prior to use, although the most users prefer to hone the blade themselves to their preferred cutting angle. Clifton e - No 5 Jack Plane is the "jack of all trades", a mid-sized plane that can be used for smoothing and flattening medium sized timbers. As a DT Technician in the Technology Department at Millais School, my role here involves ensuring our department is well-equipped and functioning smoothly, which naturally leads me to rely on quality suppliers and efficient service.
