Lie-Nielsen No. 85 Cabinet Maker's Scraper Plane

An exceptional plane by any standard. The 50mm(2") wide A2 cryogenically treated blade extends the full width of the base allowing fine scraping to be carried out right into a corner, such as a fielded panel. The most important aspect of this plane is that the handles can be tilted to the left or right. This means the plane can be operated right up to an adjacent side, such as inside a box, or on a wide deep rebate, whilst keeping the users hands well out of the way but still in complete control. The body is ductile iron 210mm(8.3/8") long. Adjustment mechanism bronze, and the blade is cryogenically tempered tool steel 3.2mm(1/8") thick. This really is the sort of tool cabinet makers normally only dream about.
