We’ve made a limited number of specialty blades and will make more available in 2025.

Large Router Plane Blades

For use in our No. 71 Large Router Planes. Made from A2 Tool Steel. Our Large Router Planes come with a 3/8” wide square tip blade.

Four specialty blades are also available:

75° blades are intended for getting into acute corners such as inlaying butterflies.
The 100° blade is great for rough stock removal on large, recessed surfaces.

Note: Blades do not work in vintage Stanley planes.

Sharpening:

The blade comes ready to use. Additional honing will increase performance.

First, hone the bottom of the blade. Make several passes along a waterstone until a slight burr is formed along the cutting edge.

Then flip the blade over and make a few light passes along the beveled face to remove the burr.

Materials:

The blade is A2 tool steel, hardened and tempered to Rockwell 60-62. Our heat treating technique ensures that the blade will take and hold a very fine edge for a long time.

Maintenance:

Blades should be kept lightly oiled or waxed to prevent rust. We recommend Jojoba Oil, a plant based oil product that is non-toxic, odor-free and easy to use. Also, in our shop, we use a fine abrasive handblock to remove any light surface oxide from tool bodies and blades. Jojoba Oil and abrasive handblocks are available from us.
