{"product_id":"specialty-plough-plow-plane-ebony-copy-1","title":"Specialty Plough\/Plow Plane - Ebony","description":"\u003cp\u003eIntroducing the HNT Gordon Plough\/Plow Plane, designed by Terry Gordon as the latest addition to our Joinery Plane Series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Plough Plane completes a highly versatile group of joinery planes alongside our Shoulder, Dado, Side Rebate and Moving Fillister planes, each developed for accurate, efficient furniture joinery using hand tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Plough Plane is engineered to cut precise grooves in long grain, with the fence adjustable up to 42mm (1 21\/32\") from the edge of the workpiece and a maximum groove depth of 16mm (5\/8\").\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFence Adjustment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fence arms operate independently, allowing the fence to be set accurately parallel to the plane body. This is particularly important with a plough plane, as an accurately aligned fence is essential for producing straight, consistent grooves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fence can be positioned from 0 to 42mm (1 21\/32\") from the edge of the workpiece. Each fence arm is adjusted using a finely knurled knob, making small and accurate adjustments quick and easy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA built-in scale is provided in both metric and imperial measurements. When ordering your Plough Plane, please nominate your preferred scale. This will be positioned on the top of the fence arms for easy reading, while the alternate scale remains visible from underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scale measures from the edge of the timber to the left side of the groove being formed, regardless of the blade width being used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe metric scale is marked in 1mm increments, with larger markings every 5mm. The imperial scale is marked in 1\/32\" increments, with larger markings every 1\/4\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDepth Adjustment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe adjustable depth stop allows the groove depth to be set anywhere from 0 to 16mm (5\/8\"). The stop is adjusted using the knurled knob on top of the plane body and can be accurately set using a ruler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFence Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe curved shape of the fence has been designed to sit naturally beneath the four fingers of the left hand, allowing firm and comfortable pressure to be applied against the edge of the workpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaintaining this pressure is an important part of producing an accurate groove, particularly over longer lengths of timber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBlades\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Plough\/Plow Plane is supplied with your choice of a standard 6mm or 1\/4\" High Speed Steel blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditional blade sizes are available separately:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMetric:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm and 16mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImperial:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1\/8\", 3\/16\", 5\/16\", 3\/8\", 1\/2\" and 5\/8\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther specific blade sizes can also be custom ordered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sides of the blades are relieved by a few degrees, helping prevent the blade from binding in the groove as the cut becomes deeper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegardless of blade width, the left side of the blade registers firmly against the depth stop foot. The foot itself is slightly relieved, ensuring the correct amount of blade projects beyond the skate on both sides. This is particularly important when using the narrow 1\/8\" blade, where the skate is only slightly narrower than the cutter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis arrangement also allows the fence scale to be accurately calibrated during manufacture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese small refinements are characteristic of Terry Gordon's approach to plane design: concentrating on the details that make a hand plane easier to set, more predictable to use and capable of producing consistently accurate joinery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Plough Plane is supplied with detailed setup and operating instructions covering:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstalling and removing the blade\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSetting the fence\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSetting the depth stop\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCutting the groove\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSharpening\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrice includes one 6mm or 1\/4\" blade.
