Measuring just 85mm by 25mm the Kunz Squirrel tail palm plane is a precision tool ideal for producing chamfers and fine trimming. The squirrel tail nests comfortably into the palm allowing great control of delicate cuts. The body is made from fine grey-cast which is stress relieved and epoxy coated, the sole is then ground flat. The iron is produced from optimum quality tool steel and hardened to approximatly 62 Rockwell HRC. The plane iron is suplied sharpened but we would highly recommend you hone it prior to use, lapping the sole on 320g Wet and Dry abrasive paper on a flat surface i.e a piece of float glass will also take the plane to another level.
