Lie-Nielsen Large Router Plane No. 71

Lie-Nielsen Large Router Plane

A router plane is a great tool for working shallow mortises - hinge gains, inlay, door locks, trimming tenons and the like. This plane is loosely based on an early Stanley model, but with an improved depth stop and adjuster. Also, the blade is held solidly in the body in a square broached hole (blades will not fit original Stanleys).

Closed Throat

Features

• Ductile iron body - 8-1/4" long x 3-1/2" wide x 3-3/4" tall
• Square tip blade - 3/8" wide
• Weighs 1.65 lbs. Made in the U.S.A.

Plane includes fence which can be mounted on either side of the blade and flipped around for straight or curved cuts.

The Open Throat design offers more visibility in front of the tool.

The Closed Throat design offers more support for working on narrow edges or boards, or for cleaning out the end of a stopped groove in a rail or stile.

With the optional L-N 71 Router Plane Adapter and optional blades, you can then use this Large Router Plane for smaller scale cutting.
