No. 212 Small Scraping Plane, Iron Body

This unusual plane is based on the now scarce Stanley No. 212, which was discontinued in 1934 and brings high prices from today’s collectors. We are pleased to make it available for woodworkers once again.

The almost perpendicular blade makes it ideal for small scraping jobs, producing shavings like the finest lace and leaving smooth surfaces with crisp edges. The blade angle can be adjusted from 75° to 100°, enabling it to be set up just right for the particular wood being worked.

5-1/2″ long x 1-3/4″ wide.
Blade is 1-3/8″ wide x 1/8″ thick.
Iron body, 1.45 lbs.

Materials:

We use Ductile Iron for the bodies. These castings are fully stress relieved, a process that removes inherent stresses and ensures that the tool will remain flat and true. The blade is double tempered A2 Tool Steel, hardened to Rockwell 60-62. The ⅛” thickness provides solid chatter-free cutting.

Maintenance:

The bodies are hand lapped, to a tolerance of .0015″. Depending how much use your tool gets, an occasional light sanding with wet/dry paper (320 grit or finer) on a flat surface will keep the sole in as-new condition. A light oiling on the threaded rod and Brass adjuster will keep them moving freely. Many people like the patina that Bronze gets with age and use, but if you wish to keep the finish bright, a little brass polish is in order. The blade should be kept lightly oiled to prevent rust, especially when the tool is not in use. We recommend Jojoba Oil, a plant based oil product that is non-toxic, odor-free and easy to use. Also, in our shop, we use a fine abrasive handblock to remove any light surface oxide from tool bodies and blades. Jojoba Oil and abrasive handblocks are available from us.

Guarantee:

Materials and workmanship are guaranteed for the life of your tool. Call for repairs or replacement parts. We are available for advice if you ever have a problem using your tool.
