Overview

The Rider Low Angle Hand Plane Kit brings together three planes that cover most hand planing work in the workshop: the No.60 1/2 Low Angle Block Plane, the No.4 Low Angle Smoothing Plane and the No.62 Low Angle Jack Plane. Between them you can dimension, flatten, smooth, trim and work end grain, and you save compared with buying each plane on its own.

All three are designed and developed by professional woodworkers in the UK. Each has a 12° bed, a 3.2mm thick cryogenically hardened M2 HSS blade ground at 25°, a Norris-style adjuster and an adjustable mouth.

Key Features

• Three low angle planes that cover dimensioning, flattening, smoothing and trimming.
• Upright, lightly oiled maple totes on the No.4 and No.62 help keep steady downward pressure through the cut.
• Angled thumb rest and domed cap on the No.60 1/2 for comfortable one-handed use.
• 3.2mm thick M2 HSS blades reduce chatter and resist wear.
• Norris-style adjusters set blade depth and angle with one control.
• Adjustable mouths on every plane, from heavy cuts to fine finishing.
