Clifton - Clifton No. 5 Handplane
This is a well-machined plane with only a small amount of backlash in the Baileystyle adjustment mechanismsThis is a well-machined plane with only a small amount of backlash in the Baileystyle adjustment mechanisms. The blade was ground slightly unevenly and had to be flattened, but the unique, two-piece chipbreaker worked well and contacted the blade solidly. The sole was flat, but the sides were slightly out of square, which limits the plane’s use with a shooting board. A Bedrock-style frog allows the mouth to be adjusted without removing the blade, a great time-saver.
