M2 High Speed Steel blades

This also means that it may take a little longer to bring up an edge. Don’t worry, you will be leaving your sharpening gear on the shelf for a lot longer too. MTC plane blades are also thicker than the average plane, this eliminates vibration is the cut, ensuring a smooth uniform finish.

Easy and precise depth and lateral blade adjustment

Slide side to side to skew the blade within the plane mouth. The whole assembly comes apart easily for regular maintenance. MTC make caring for and setting up you hand tools easy and stress free.

Adjustable mouth

The plane mouth is fully adjustable. Twist the front handle to release the toe. Use the mouth adjustment lever to set the mouth width opening to suit the work at hand. Close the mouth up tight to minimise tear out when working difficult figured materials. Open wide when working more predictable materials and make shavings fast without clogging.
