Abstract: A plane such as a low angle jack plane having an adjustable toe that cannot inadvertently slide backwards in the plane body so that it contacts and possibly damages the plane blade. A threaded stop mounted in the plane body bears against the toe establishing the point to which the toe can slide back in the plane body. Rotation of the threaded stop moves the end of the stop by small, easily controlled increments, making it easy to change the width of the mouth while preventing contact between the toe and the plane blade.

Abstract: A plane such as a shoulder plane having at least two set screws positioned in apertures in the body, the set screws adapted to bear against opposite sides of the blade laterally to adjust the blade in position. An adjustment assembly is also provided, where rotation of a knob adjusts longitudinal movement of a traveler component, and laterally pivoting the knob allows lateral movement of the blade to the extent permitted by the set screws. A knob for rotational readjustment of the handle is also provided.

Abstract: A tool kit for adjusting the dimensions of dovetail slots and tongues for forming joints in slide fitting parts of an article of furniture comprises at least one block having a strip-like abrasive surface sized to contact only a side wall of a slot or tongue. The block has a sliding guide surface transverse to the abrasive surface for sliding engagement with a surface of the part to be finished as the abrasive surface is rubbed against the side wall. Two different blocks may be provided, one designed for adjusting slot dimensions and the other designed for adjusting tongue dimensions.
