No. 271 Small Router Plane - Closed Throat

Loosely based on the Stanley No. 271, these small Router Planes are perfect for shallow mortise and small relief work. The compact design makes it easy to guide along narrow edges and fit into tight spaces.

We make both Open and Closed throat versions of our Small Router Planes. The Open Throat design offers more visibility in front of the tool, which is especially useful for inlay work. The Closed Throat design gives more support in front of the blade, making it ideal for working on the edges of boards or cleaning out the end of a stopped groove in a rail or stile.

Our Router Planes have square blades, held solidly in square broached holes. This prevents the blade from slipping or twisting when removing large shavings or during diagonal use. The blade can also be mounted to face the back of the plane to work closer into corners.

• 4" long x 2" wide
• O1 blade with 1/4" wide square tip
• Iron body, .55 lbs.

For inlay work, we offer an optional 3/32" square tipped blade, and 1/4" and 3/32" pointed blades.
