New Skew Rabbet from LV

[Lord Nibbo]

Here is what Derek Cohen says about it.

One of the important differences of this plane versus the LN/Stanley version is that the rabbet side of the plane is not removable - it does not need to be removed (as with the LN/Stanley version) as the blade extends across the body.

Also, note the adjustable mouth.

Regards from Perth

Not seen any mention of it from Robin Lee, so is this in production? or is it a prototype?

:tool: :tongue9: :tongue9: :tongue9:

I wants one

Hmm, s'interesting; 'ticularly the adjustable mouth. Looks like a bit of an exercise production-wise though; lots going on around the front end. Wonder what price point they're going to try and hit with it. (And nope, I know nothing, before you ask )

Cheers, Alf

Wonder if the cross-grain spur moves in and out as well as up and down, like the skew rebate :-k

Cheers :wink:

Have a look at woodworkforums.com handtools-unpowered section (one day I'll have to learn to post links ) in the thread New Veritas Saws page 2 - Rob Lee lets just a little out of the bag.

It's in production and being released today (Thursday in Canada).

Cheers, Vann.

I think the reference to things in production refers to something else - or rather two somethings else. Fairly sure I know what at least one of them is, but I may be wrong. :-$ Judging by the email I just got from LV concerning this one, it's still very much in the pre-production stage.

Cheers, Alf

Whatever it is, it looks an interesting little plane. I wonder if the production version will have a wooden fence as per the pic or will RL go for a cast version? - Rob

You may well be right. We know how how RL likes to tease... :twisted: :roll: . Trouble is, there're so many teases in that thread I can't tell which one is which. It can't be the saw he's talking about because he refers to castings....

Cheers, Vann.

Hi All -

This one's pre-production....Due early in the new year. Thursday of next week is something else.... actually, two something else's...

Then - 1 more plane about a week/10 days after that....

Back to this one - we're still sorting out a few small details... the fence will be wood, as you see it. There will be RH and LH versions, both quite cleverly made from the same castings. Yes - the nicker on the eccentric wheel is the same as in the full size skew rebate. And - there's the set-screw stop for the sliding throat, so the blade doesn't get hit. There's really an awful lot going on in a small package with these planes.

Cheers -

Rob

Hi.

Yes probably, :twisted: :twisted:

I've just checked on the LeeValley website, and no news about

Thursday of next week is something else.... actually, two something else's...

the famous 2 things ...

Will check later !

 

[Rob Lee]

(snip)

Will check later !

You'll have to give it about 40 minutes or so, we're not done having our tea...

Then, it'll take a wee bit for the first emails to be received, and for someone to post the link.... the product pages aren't actually going to be navigated on the website (can I use that as a verb??).

Cheers -

Rob

Excellent!

And the price looks good too, even converted on 1/1 basis.

Cheers

Ah, better still, if you happen to like marking gauges as well:

Which I do, dammit. *sticks hands in pockets and goes "la la la, I'm not looking"*

 

[graween]

Thank you for the links.

Well it looks cool 8) , and yes the price is fine.

Now I wonder what the test is really for :lol: As I remember the small plough plane was in preparation for the skew rabbet for the fence is I recall, or vice versa.

So I'm now even more excited.

Thank you Rob for the news, and sorry I forgot about the time shift

PS : Funily (can we say that ?) I'm currently looking for the big shoulder plane :lol: :lol:

 

[wizer]

So you're saving 10 dollars if you buy them together. I can kinda think of some uses for the shoulder plane but I'm failing to see the real usefulness of a mini marking gauge. Don't all shout at once.

You're not trying hard enough
