A13 dovetailed infill plane continued (3)
Here I describe some of the work to the bottoms of the planes. This is an area where most of the work of the plane is. It is probably light years ahead of any other infill plane.

Making of A13 part two
Much of the infill work is always trued up flat and square before any of the work commences, as in most woodworking projects.
In this picture are the rear infill sides showing the frog area routered away and this gives me a datum stop which helps me work out the drilling positions and its position in the plane. This will also be the same with the handle.

Making of A13
Not quite all of the sequential process, but most of it – not necessarily in order
A13 drilling lever cap for pivot screw
All my drilling and tappings are done in the milling machine so that I can achieve the best positioning and concentricity.

The next posting will be on my A13 for the benefit of my customers waiting delivery of these planes. After that I want to start going through the making of the No 982.

Some of the work on the No 98
No 98 pin machining
This is a sight that you won’t see too often. These are 3/16” diameter spigots machined in situ from a piece of 303 stainless steel. As you can see this is done on my cnc milling machine with a rough cut 6mm TC cutter at full depth of 6mm.
