Squed rebate Plane ?

Ernie Miller Topeka

>I just got this plane in the mail Thanks you self. any way no marks It is a wooden squed rebate plane 2 3/8" wide at the blade. any idea how common these things are? If it was a Stanley #10 it would be called a carrage makers plane is that what these were used for or was this more for construction work? I'm thinking I could use it for raised pannel doors and the likes. I ask because if it is somthing rare and I should not use I will put it away and not spoil it if using can spoil a plane. No makers marks might be one on the blade but I'm not holding my breath. Wanna look?

Badger plane - used for door jambs

>It is a badger plane. I've seen a few of them in the wild and - thanks to Kevin F - there's one in my shop too. They certainly aren't rare in this corner of the world. Don't know how rare they are in the US of A.

I used mine to clean up large rabbets when making door jambs for my baby daughter's bedroom. It worked WAY better than the Paramo Number 10 carriage makers rabbet plane.

I suppose it could also be used for raised panels but I've never tried.

No issues with them - they work very well.

>Criminy, I looked for one of these for panel raising for a long time, finally gave up and bought the Crown panel raiser. Anyhow, you may want to take care of this one, Tony Murland is selling one for $75.
