Bob's kind of hand plane

Here's the place to talk about all your table saws, bandsaws, routers and dust extractors. In fact anything that makes noise and uses electrickery.

Bob's kind of hand plane

Postby kirkpoore1 » 29 Sep 2015, 00:30

I was the yearly old woodworking machine gathering (Arnfest) this weekend, and found just the thing for Bob. Since we all know that Bob won't use a tool without a tail, here's his new hand plane:

This is essentially an aluminum bodied hand plane with a router mounted in the side. I'm not sure what cutters it uses, but yes, it's exactly what it looks like and apparently works.:)

More pictures from Arnfest 2015 in another thread, including a big tablesaw and a couple of Really Big Lathes.

Thanks for thinking of me Kirk. Not seen one like that before.

And may never see one again. Made by the Heath Robinson Tool Company?

I had to look that one up--no, and not by the designer of the Boulton Paul Defiant either, though it certainly shares a resemblance.:) This one is by Robinson's woodworking partner Stanley. There was another one in the auction, missing the router, that was made by Rockwell (Porter-Cable). So I guess they were useful enough to get copied.

A thread on these tools over on OWWM.org:

There was apparently more than one type, including a "weather stripping planer" version.

I had to check that out, sadly it only puts groves in the edge of the door for a weather strip to be fitted, no use for getting rid of the rain we had today.

My tool kit is almost complete, only a few more to get.
