Small Router Plane Blades (Imperial)

Melbourne Tool Company - Small Router Plane Blades (Imperial)

MTC Small Router Plane Blades (Imperial)

If you want to create clean bottomed inlays, rebates or trenches, you will need a router plane. The Melbourne Tool Company Small Router Plane is ideal for creating precise clean bottomed inlays, rebates or trenches. A go to tool for anyone loves to work with wood.

50-degree straight blades - The MTC Small Router Plane is a unique router plane. Unlike many other router planes, the blade is 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 router plane that is extremely easy to sharpen.

Easy to sharpen - Because the blades are 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! Watch your productivity grow with this versatile hand tool.

M2 High Speed Steel blades - MTC has chosen M2 High Speed Steel (HSS) for the blades. M2 HSS 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. Don’t worry, you will be leaving your sharpening gear on the shelf for a lot longer too.

A range of blade widths - The MTC Small Router Plane is supplied with a 6.35mm wide. Additional blades are available in a range of widths both Metric and Imperial.

Imperial blades available include these widths:

  • 1/16" (1.6mm) MTC-11039
  • 3/32" (2.4mm) MTC-11046
  • 1/8" (3.2mm) MTC-11053
  • 3/16" (4.8mm) MTC-11060
  • 1/4" (6.4mm) MTC-11077

Excellent for the price

I've been using the block plane for a few months now, and I'm very impressed. Build quality is extremely solid - sole is flat, sides are square, mechanism functions perfectly. Fit and finish isn't as polished as a premium brand like Veritas, but much better than other budget options like (new) Stanley, Pony -Jorgensen, or spear and Jackson. There are some slightly rough edges here and there but I didn't have to do anything to it other than sharpen the iron to get excellent results. Only potential downside I can see is that the irons seem to be relatively soft - edge retention is okay, but doesn't seem much different from most O1 blades I've used.

All in all, I'd definitely buy this again, and I plan to buy a MTC low angle jack once I have the money to spare.

Ready to go out of the box

I read several reviews for both planes and finally decided to bite the bullet and purchase the set. I’m glad I did! I’ve been very pleased with the quality of workmanship and the fact that they were ready to use right out of the box.

Quality tools

Have not had time to use the plane yet but it seems to be very high quality and shape out of the box.
