MTC Spokeshave Blades

MTC-10667

If you want to shape and smooth wood, then you need a good spokeshave with a good blade. This Melbourne Tool Company Spokeshave Blade is the real backbone of your smoothing and shaping kit. A fundamental tool for anyone loves to work with wood.

MTC has chosen M2 High Speed Steel (HSS) for the spokeshave 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. MTC plane blades are also thicker than the average plane, this eliminates vibration is the cut, ensuring a smooth uniform finish.

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.
