Description
W Marples and Sons Sliding Box Chamfer Plane, or is it?
The 1 1/4″ tapered iron is an original marked W. Marples & Sons, Sheffield. However, the body appears to be oak (maybe) and therefore probably user made replace using all the original steel. Has the original sliding box with steel sole, but the box also appears to be oak. The brass box depth adjuster looks a little odd because of how new it is, but it works well. Iron is in good shape, hollow ground with only minor pitting on the cutting face.
Nice craftsman made, chamfer plane.
