ECE Fenced Dovetail Plane

ECE Fenced Dovetail Plane

ECE hand planes combine Emmerich's meticulous quality with the economy of traditional hammer-set irons secured with wooden wedges. Heavy irons are solidly bedded for smooth, clean performance. Bodies are dense European beech and soles are long-wearing hornbeam. As in all Emmerich planes, the workmanship is simply outstanding.

This unique wooden plane is made for creating the tongue in sliding dovetail joints. Hornbeam sole is 2-1/8" by 9-1/2" and is sloped at 10°. The iron is ground to match. An adjustable, 4-sided carbide knife spur helps reduce tearout across end grain. A steel fence determines the width of cut, up to 1-5/16". Maximum shoulder depth is 7/8". The 1-5/16" iron is set and adjusted with a hammer.
