Window to my workshop 50

Some pictures of the completed No 982 panel planes (14 1/2″).  I made a limited edition of 8 of these planes, a few were made with the brass cones.

  3. I noticed the threads on the adjuster are both right handed. Are they pitched differently? I would love to see a post about your thoughts on this aspect, i’ve never seen adjusters quite like yours. Fantastic work, as always.

  4. Hi

    The No 982 adjuster that you can see on this blog is only a single thread. You can see it better on my web page here: http://www.holteyplanes.com/planes_No982.html. Though since taking this picture I have made a few revisions.

    I have always favoured a single thread as it keeps station with the blade. I could never understand the Norris idea of using a left hand and right hand threads so both threads work to a common direction, this makes fine adjustments very difficult. In the past I have used two right hand threads as a differential but then there is a danger of the knob crashing into the top of the blade. Single threads are my favourite.

    A blog on adjusters is now in the pipeline.
