No 507 Rebate Block Plane with fence system

Based on the original dimensions of  the Sargent No 507 this low angle rebate block plane has extra features to make it very versatile with the following applications.

• Low Angle block plane with a blade bed angle of 12° for general trimming, end grain work, tenon cheeks and more.
• Rabbet plane with an adjustable fence that fits on either side of the plane to avoid requiring two planes to plane with the grain on either side of the workpiece.
• The fence is secured by two stainless rods that avoids flex which can occur when only one rod is used.
• Make straight flat rebates with ease.
• Chamfer plane when the 45° fence attachment (purchased separately) is fitted allowing perfect accurate chamfers.
• Raised panel doors etc are easily planed with a 20° fence fitted (purchased separately).

The body is sand cast from indestructible ductile iron. The cap iron and fence is in bronze, other parts in brass and marine grade stainless steel. Ground flat & square.
