Lie-Nielsen No. 51 Shoot Board Plane - Right Hand

This new single-purpose plane is designed to trim miters and other end grain cuts on a shooting board. Stanley first built its version of the plane in 1909 along with a metal shooting board. Lie-Nielsen's version of this tool utilizes a standard 2-3/8" Bench Plane Blade and Frog, and is heavier than the original Stanley model. The shoot board plane is 15" long, 3-9/16" wide, with a shoulder height of 2-1/8", and weighs just over 9 pounds. The frog is skewed to the sole at a 20 degree angle. For those lucky enough to possess one of the original Stanley 52 Chute Boards, the Lie-Nielsen No. 51 shoot board plane is designed to fit it correctly. Lie-Nielsen plans to offer a companion Shooting Board in the future. In the meantime, you may download plans to build your own shooting board by clicking here.
