3/4" Dado Plane
Weighs 1.1 Kg and has a 3/16" thick x 3/4" wide Tool steel blade hardened to Rc 62-64, plus a HSS T1 nicker Blade 3/4" wide with 9mm of useable blade which will last a long time. And the nicker is mechanically adjustable for easy set up.
It has a 60 degrees blade angle skewed at 20 degrees for a smooth finish across the grain or with the grain in cranky wood. Used to make a 3/4" dado (grove) across the grain or with the grain. The precision made nicker ensures a very neat and accurate dado as the wood fibres are cleanly severed when planing across the grain. The plane also has a mechanically adjustable depth stop so you can accurately make the dado to a specific depth.
The plane comes with a complete guide for use and sharpening.
United StatesClean, precise dados and a joy to use
I'm a hobbyist woodworker and I've owned one of these for a few years now and use it every chance I get. I feel if you only ever learn to make a carcass with some shelves, then you have the ability to make some very practical and elegant furniture for any corner of the home. For that you just need dado's and rebates and this tool fits the bill very well. I think, if you're starting out and looking to spend money to get a really nice joinery plane, then this one is difficult to beat. It's beautifully made, a pleasure to use and it cuts beautifully clean and precise dado's and rebates.

Excellent. Why would you use a router when you can use a tool like his without the dust noise and danger.
