Melbourne Tool Company Low Angle Smoothing Plane Blade - 50 Degree
Melbourne Tool Company Low Angle Smoothing Plane Blades are designed with the bevel of the blade facing upwards when installed in the plane. This low angle design offers you the option to choose between three different blade cutting angles to suit the material and work at hand. This is a great advantage over traditional hand planes where the downward facing bevel is only present to relieve the cut.
M2 High Speed Steel blades
MTC has chosen M2 HSS for its abrasion resistance, which means it will hold a sharp edge longer than many other steels. The compromise of course is that it’ll take a little longer to bring up an edge, yet you will be leaving your sharpening gear on the shelf for longer too. MTC plane blades are also thicker than the average plane, this eliminates vibration is the cut, ensuring a smooth uniform finish.
The 25 degree blade
Melbourne Tool Company Low Angle Planes are supplied with a 25 degree blade as standard. Together with the cast bed angle of the plane of 12 degrees, the effective cutting angle achieved is 37 degrees.
The 38 degree blade
The 38 degree blade gives you have an effective cutting angle of 50 degrees. This bevel angle is perfect for smoothing surfaces across or along the grain, planing fine edges, chamfering and trimming fitted parts.
The 50 degree blade
The 50 degree blade produces an effective cutting edge of 62 degrees. This very high cutting angle is ideal for smoothing figured timbers where tear out is a problem. This blade is great for working isolated patches of tear out smooth or for shaping delicate decorative pieces made from figured wood.
Specification
- Plane blade dimensions: 3.4mm x 51mm x 95mm
