A11 Mitre Plane.


This plane has a parallel section like the traditional mitre planes. It is steel all round and is particularly useful on shooting boards. It has a 2 ¼" blade.

As with all mitre planes these are popular with both collectors and users. Surprisingly the original Norris A11 is a very rare plane and I have seen two of these change hands for a lot of money. Seeing the practical usefulness of this tool, especially with shooting boards etc and basically a good all round plane, I produced my own version. By simplifying the rear infill and using a longer stem adjuster which gives this plane a much better lateral adjustment.
