Lie Nielsen Toolworks No.140 Skew Block Planes (Bronze) - Pair (Right & Left) [Preowned, SOLD]

Product Description

Here is a rare treat.

The left hand version has been discontinued and the right handed plane in bronze has not been seen for a few years yet.

The Lie-Nielsen No 140 Skew Block Plane is based on the long unavailable Stanley 140, this multi-talented tool is designed to deal with difficult woods using a combination of a low angle approach, shear cutting action from the skewed and tilted blade.

A retractable nicker scores cross-grain fibres, and the removable side plate and adjustable fence allow quick conversion to rabbeting and cross-grain work, such as fielding raised panels.

The removable face plate is on the right side of the "right" version and on the left in the left hand version.

The 1½'' wide x 1/8'' thick blade has an 18° skew and is bedded at 12° with a captive nut for positive and accurate adjusting.

Body is 6 7/8'' long x 1 7/8'' wide.
Iron body 1.2 lbs

These planes both have 10" wooden guides, accurately added to the bronze fences.

Whilst these are pre-owned both planes are in F (fine condition). Planes supplied with Lie-Nielsen Toolworks Plane sacks.

There is a big scarcity value here hence the price.
