Sale Lee Valley E.C. Emmerich Primus Smooth Plane

Nothing represents tradition in woodworking like the wooden plane, with many design aspects that have remained unchanged for hundreds of years.

One of the reasons for their enduring popularity is that they are lighter than comparable steel planes and are therefore less tiring to use.

Used to smooth surfaces and remove marks left by the milling process, this 220mm (8 5/8″) long finishing plane is somewhat shorter than most steel-body smooth planes to permit more precise work. The Primus screw-feed mechanism has no lost motion, letting you adjust the blade angle and projection quickly and precisely while keeping the blade assembly in tension. The 48mm (1 7/8″) wide double iron is set bevel-down at a 50° bed angle. The plane has a beech body, a hornbeam sole and a horn-shaped handle, usable with either a right- or left-hand grip.

Made in Germany by E.C. Emmerich, the manufacturer of the finest wooden planes available today.
