%!$ Easy Diy Woodworking Bench Plans For You #!@

Cheers Ece primus jointer plane uniform. Note: The picture shows this plane with different wood. If you have enough experience to figure it out and make friends this might be a more helpful tool. Shaving thickness adjustable with a setscrew free of backlash. And I Like it. Only the best antique or reproduction British infill planes can match or sometines outperform these ECE Primus unifrm, and then only on the most difficult woods.

I found it works even better when pulled. I prefer them over the cross pins, but I guess mostly for aesthetic reasons. Both versions respond really well to the hammer. Are you sure that the Smoother is the same size as the Jack? Mine is about an inch shorter, but that is one of the older versions I have, so not sure if that is still up to date…. There is something very beautiful about a traditional mortice.

Some of their planes, like the scrub do still seem to have this, which seems strange. Not sure how I missed that, I checked enough times! Once again your post inspires to think about it. Blade adjustment drives me crazy. Any news so far? The plane build though, at last, has finally gone in to the editing room. Keep up the good work, you are making a difference.

Funny, yesterday I read your post and just this morning I discovered this very plane in my fathers workshop. Waiting for me I guess to put it into shape. My hammer weighs about g which gives me a very good feeling.

It is then a question of filing down the screw or carving a small relief in the back side of the wedge. Beside that I really enjoy the lightweight and balance of those planes. Even a standard Stanley no. Thanks for the post Richard, and now get the Jointer! The plane blade is spring loaded which reduces chatter and drag to almost nothing. The Primus model will glide through birds mouth maple like butter. It is expensive. I recommend it highly. That said, I will not be giving up my power plane.

Excellent feel and balance. Keep up the good work…. Hi Richard, Just bought one of these planes…. Balance and feel excellent. Keep up your great work.. Kindest regards Chris Bailey. You picked the best of the bunch. I found the iron to be similar to the older stanley irons not the ones that have rounded corners at the top of the iron as yours does in terms of edge holding, but it liked to hold its wire edge a bit more than old stanley irons.

Is that the only difference in planing techniques needed between a German jack and a regular jack? Would a Stanley double iron work in the ECE jack plane?

The reason I ask is that in Canada ece is a pain in therear to get a hold of unless your looking at Primus. I ordered mine from Germany, and bought several to spread the shipping costs.

You could also go with Highland Hardware. Thx for the endorsement on the plane though…. I own an ECE jointer from the s that looks much like the current model, but with a hirnbeam sole instead of lignum vitae. That tension screw and the connecting rod were my source of frustration. If you have enough experience to figure it out and make friends this might be a more helpful tool.

Now you might be able to get it back together after sharpening the blade, but it seems like a lot of work for such a basic routine. If I could swap it for a wedge I would. Next is that lateral adjustment. The lever is designed to be almost impossible to move? Maybe this has been improved! My previous jointer is a typical single-block-of-wood style with a wedge and a blade with a cap iron. The main reason for getting the ECE was because of its length and the wider blade.

But after flattening the ECE sole, getting the blade really straight, with just a rounded end on L and R to avoid lines , maybe it will be my dream plane after all. Perhaps for someone coming from strong experience in metal planes the ECE tension rod and lateral lever would be a godsend. They now make a jointer with a wedge!

I set the plane, and out the box it took a shaving… The build quality is very good, not in a Holtey or a Sparks kind of way. Yay or Nay? And I Like it. Comments Great review. A Lignumexcusemewhat sole?!? Right and left handed models. Click to enlarge. This makes a big difference as these planes are very awkward to hold with you hands reversed from normal. A jack plane is the first plane that you reach for when planing a piece of rough stock, before going on to finer planes.

Note: The picture shows this plane with different wood. Its 24" length makes it ideal for jointing even the longest edges, such as the boards of a dinner table. Plane has adjustable fence, depth stop, and a knicker to slice cross-grain fibers. Spur is in line with and in front of the blade. Use for rabbeting with or against grain. Hornbeam sole. Use after jack or try to prepare groundwork for veneering or covering with plastic laminate. Blade has ridges or serrations that striate the surface to provide tooth or grip for glue.

Plane with the grain. The blade is set at a high angle to minimize tear outs. Therefore, the plane may also be used to flatten or reduce the surface of burled or bird's-eye figured hardwood grain. Follow with scraper plane.
