Lie-Nielsen No 101 Violin Maker's Plane

Product Description


This pocket-sized block plane is the smallest of the Lie-Nielsen hand planes to feature a captive nut blade adjuster for precisely controlled depth of cut.

Loosely based on the Stanley No.101 block plane, the Lie-Nielsen Violin Maker’s Plane features several significant improvements that put it in a class of its own. The body and cap are made from Manganese Bronze for extra weight, durability, and resistance to rust. The blade is 1/8" thick for chatter-free cuts and made from cryogenically treated A-2 steel for prolonged edge life. The addition of a finely controlled blade depth adjuster make this little workhorse perfect for detail-oriented jobs like instrument building or model making.

The body is 3 7/16" long x 1 3/16" wide x 1 5/8" tall. The blade is 7/8" wide x 1/8" thick and bedded at 18 degrees. Weight is 0.50 lbs.

"This has to be one of the cutest planes ever made. It is beautifully made and fully functional. A worthy complement to the excellent miniature tools made by Veritas. It is very handy for shaping and trimming small components such as bijou boxes, custom plugs and picture frames."
