No. 51 Shoot Board Plane
This single purpose plane is designed to trim miters and other end grain cuts on a shooting board. Stanley first made its version in 1909 along with a metal shooting board. We have had requests for this tool over the years, so we are pleased to announce that it is now available.

Our version of this tool utilizes our standard 2 3/8" Bench Plane Blade and Frog, and is heavier than the original. It is 15" long, 3 9/16" wide, with a shoulder height of 2 1/8", and is just over 9 pounds. The frog is skewed to the sole at a 20 degree angle. Will fit the original Stanley 52 Chute Board. We plan to offer a companion Shooting Board in the future. You may download plans to make your own shooting board above under 'Downloads'.
