Idealy suited to producing chamfers and fine trimming. The body is made from 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.
