Looking for a Lee Valley Mini Edge-Rounding Plane in the UK

[Ed Bray]

As title really, I am looking for a Lee Valley Mini Edge Rounding plane from a supplier in the UK if possible, failing that if anyone knows of something similar that is available that can perform repeated round overs of somewhere between the 1/16th Inch radius of the Lee Valley item or 1/8th Inch. I already have router bits that can do this, but would prefer a 'hand tool' solution.

Failing that, are there instructions/tooling available to make your own (would prefer to buy one though if possible).

TIA, Eddie

Workshop Heaven have them at £20 each in a choice of three radii

You could also use a small hollow plane and just take the same number of strokes along each edge.

Otherwise chamfer planes are easy to make and commonly were user made.

You could always try this, unless I've completely misunderstood what you're after.

A few places keep them I think. A quick search bought up classic hand tools.

I have used Canadian hand tools recently a couple of times who seem very competitive on price and have free postage on veritas things. I don't know if they have one listed.

An alternative might be the veritas cornering tool, or a block plane with a shop made fence(s). Or a standard block/ bench plane.

Thanks to those that responded, the Veritas ones are not what I want, fortunately the Workshop Heaven one is exactly what I am looking for, many thanks.

Do a search for a "SLICKPLANE".
