Ironbark Toolworks Infill Block Plane with v2 Adjuster and Mulga Inlay

Amongst connoisseurs of fine woodworking tools, the hand-made infill plane remains the pinnacle of the toolmaker’s trade.  This beautiful, accurate and innovative example from one of Australia’s premier toolmakers is sure to delight, whether on display, or hard at work.  

Ironbark tools are manufactured in Queensland in small batches. The use of specially-selected materials, precision machining and stringent quality control ensure every tool is an outstanding example of Australian toolmaking expertise. 

Premium Materials

The Ironbark Infill Block Plane is handcrafted using world-class materials. A stainless steel sole delivers stability and wear resistance, and is dovetailed to the sides, which are made from C360 brass. The body of the plane is filled with well-seasoned Mulga, celebrating the famous durability and beauty of Australia’s desert hardwoods – which themselves are no match for the 18% HSS blade.

Innovative Adjustment

Unlike on traditional Norris-style adjusters, the lateral adjustment on the Ironbark is done without de-centring the depth adjuster. Instead, an ingenious ‘V2’ adjuster allows the blade to be fine-tuned laterally completely independently from the depth knob. 

Ergonomic and Aesthetic

The Ironbark Infill Block Plane is stunning example of the planemaker’s art. It fits beautifully in the hand and is an absolute pleasure to use. Made entirely in Australia to the highest standards of quality, carefully calibrated and hand-finished, it will deliver superb accuracy for a lifetime – and more.
