Abstract: A router plane having a collar maintained in snug engagement with a blade shank during blade height adjustment to facilitate accurate adjustment with a threaded adjustment nut that travels on an adjustment post. The collar is retained on a post secured to the router plane body so that the collar can rotate between blade in-board and blade out-board positions without removal from the post.

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 honing guide and bevel setting jig for removable attachment to the honing guide to properly position the angle and projection of a tool to be sharpened in the jig to enable the tool to be honed at the proper angle and position. An adjustable roller that contacts an abrasive surface during use of the guide facilitates formation of micro bevels. A tool securing bar having a generally triangular shape in the bar's middle section forces the arris-defining back of the tool being honed against a reference surface in the guide by tightening thumb nuts around threaded studs projecting from the bar. Jigs for use with both square and skew edge chisel and blades are described. A concave surface clamp bar honing guide provides enhanced gripping of the tool being honed, and wedges and adjustable structures expand the range of bevel angles that can be honed.

Abstract: A scraper plane used in woodworking and providing a blade having an adjustable angle as well as adjustable camber. Varying the camber of the blade creates various sized regions of contact between the cutting edge of the blade and the workpiece. Variable camber provides increased control and improved function.

Abstract: A router plane having a collar maintained in snug engagement with a blade shank during blade height adjustment to facilitate accurate adjustment with a threaded adjustment nut that travels on an adjustment post. The collar is retained on a post secured to the router plane body so that the collar can rotate between blade in-board and blade out-board positions without removal from the post.

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.
