Melbourne Tool Company Large Router Plane Blade – 8mm

If you want to create clean bottomed inlays, rebates or trenches, you will need a router plane. The Melbourne Tool Company range of Large Router Plane Blades are ideal for creating precise clean cuts

50-degree straight blades

Unlike many other router planes, the blades are made from a straight square section of HSS steel set bevel-down in the plane at 50 degrees – the blade bevel is only present to relieve the cut. This provides you with a very effective angle of attack suitable for all types of trenching work, and a plane blade that is extremely easy to sharpen.

Easy to sharpen

Due to the blades being made from a single piece of straight steel, the blades are very easy to sharpen. Simply remove the blade from the plane body, sharpen like you would a mortise chisel and then reset. No special jigs or equipment required!

M2 High Speed Steel blades

The M2 HSS (High Speed Steel) blade has high abrasion resistance which means it will hold a sharp edge much longer than many other steels. This also means that it may take a little longer to bring up an edge, very similar to A2 steel, but holds the edge longer than O1 steel.
