toothed plane blade

[marcros]

I have just received the mystery box that I bought from the workshop heaven schickle sale.

In it, and the main reason that I went for it is a toothed plane blade. It is 1 13/16" (46mm) wide, and 3/16" thick. What would this fit?

Something like this:

I knocked it up in a couple of afternoons, though the Swedish postal service knocked the lump out of the top edge.

Scraper plane with toothed blade for highly figured wood (in my case and that of the recipient, ukulele tops, sides and backs, less than 2 mm thick, but would work for eg a table top). Rapidly gets you a flat surface with no chip out, working at 45 degrees to the grain*. Swap the blade for a non-toothed one to get rid of the toothing, switch to a card scraper to refine the final surface.

I made up the block from two pieces, sliced the sides off, removed the wood for the blade and throat, then glued it back together. Abutments were just glued in, as precision is not critical, you just need the blade held at about 85 degrees.

* Work a toothed blade with the grain and you get curls of 1mm x1mm wood which clog the plane. Cross grain produces very coarse dust very quickly.

true, but this looks the same shape as a veritas http://www.leevalley.com/en/wood/page.a ... 1182,43698 except that the teeth are V's rather than square. no branding on it.

It must fit something out there...

Probably a Kunz, take a look here

You could email, phone or PM Matthew. He may even read this thread!

I have thanks andy. I have expected people to come back saying that the answer was pretty obvious, so I thought that I would post on here. since doing some research, it is an odd size indeed.

and the answer from Matthew is...

it is designed to fit the Kunz 62 low angle jack, but you could adapt a suitable width woodie to take it.

I will have a look for the low angle jack I think.
