New Skew Rabbet from LV

Lord Nibbo · Posted: Fri Oct 23, 2009 8:28 am Post subject: New Skew Rabbet from LV

Here is what Derek Cohen says about it.

One of the important differences of this plane versus the LN/Stanley version is that the rabbet side of the plane is not removable - it does not need to be removed (as with the LN/Stanley version) as the blade extends across the body.

Also, note the adjustable mouth.

Regards from Perth

Derek

----------------------------

Not seen any mention of it from Robin Lee, so is this in production? or is it a prototype?

Hmm, s'interesting; 'ticularly the adjustable mouth. Looks like a bit of an exercise production-wise though; lots going on around the front end. Wonder what price point they're going to try and hit with it. (And nope, I know nothing, before you ask Smile

)

Cheers, Alf

Wonder if the cross-grain spur moves in and out as well as up and down, like the skew rebate Think

Cheers

I think the reference to things in production refers to something else - or rather two somethings else. Fairly sure I know what at least one of them is, but I may be wrong. Shhh

Judging by the email I just got from LV concerning this one, it's still very much in the pre-production stage.

Cheers, Alf

Whatever it is, it looks an interesting little plane. I wonder if the production version will have a wooden fence as per the pic or will RL go for a cast version? - Rob

Hi All -

This one's pre-production....Due early in the new year. Thursday of next week is something else.... actually, two something else's...

Then - 1 more plane about a week/10 days after that....

Back to this one - we're still sorting out a few small details... the fence will be wood, as you see it. There will be RH and LH versions, both quite cleverly made from the same castings. Yes - the nicker on the eccentric wheel is the same as in the full size skew rebate. And - there's the set-screw stop for the sliding throat, so the blade doesn't get hit. There's really an awful lot going on in a small package with these planes.

Cheers -

Rob
