Lie Nielsen Shoulder Plane No.1/2

Based on a traditional design after Spiers and Norris the baby of the brood No. ½ is designed with very delicate work in mind and intended to remove no larger than 0.12mm(.005") shavings. The blade is bedded at 15° and has a 25° flat ground bevel with the bevel up to give an included cutting angle of 40°, the prime setting for this fine mouth. The A2 tool steel cryogenically treated blade is mounted very traditionally in a bronze body with a rosewood fill and wedge. Tapping the heal of the plane loosens the wedge allowing the blade to be adjusted before tapping the wedge home to secure the blade again, making allowance for the slightly increased set caused by the tightening of the wedge. Length: 140mm(5 ½") Blade: 12.7mm(½") wide x 3.2mm(") thick
