2” Smoothing Plane Blade
Vic has been using Hock blades in his wooden planes for many years and wouldn’t have it any other way. These blades were designed specifically for Krenov-style planes made by the man himself.
Normally these blades come with a chip breaker, but the pull plane that is featured in Projects from the Minimalist Woodworker doesn’t need one. So, Vic spoke to Mr. Ron Hock and he shipped us a bunch of blades without chip breakers! That saves you a bit of cash and eliminates the head scratching over what to do with the leftover chip breaker.
These blades are high carbon steel and come with a 30° primary bevel and at 3/16” thick, you won’t have to worry about chatter.
The details:
- 2" wide x 3-1/2” long x 3/16” thick
- 30° primary bevel
- High carbon steel
