QUICK OVERVIEW

The CT-9 Crowning Plane is built very similar to the CT-7 and CT-8. The sole however is concave, and is a true arc segment of a two inch circle. This beautifully crafted tool features an adjustable throat, your choice of rosewood or ebony infills on the toe and heel, a solid brass fence with a matching wood rail and a precision blade adjustment mechanism.

Manufacturer’s PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Milled from solid steel, the double dovetailed sole of the CT-9 features an adjustable throat and is ground true for decades of use.

The solid brass sides of the CT-9 Crowning Plane are joined to the sole with an interlocking double dovetail joint. This joint is difficult and time consuming and equally difficult to figure out.The iron of the CT-9 Crowning Plane is adjusted by a stainless steel, 40 threads per inch lead screw (identical to a micrometer) mechanism. One full revolution moves the blade forward .025\", however because of the 20 degree blade pitch, actual edge advancement is .009\" per revolution. With one-quarter turn of the adjustment knob, you advance the cutting edge 0.00225\" which is less than the thickness of a human hair!Cutting perfectly centered crowns is quite easy with a properly adjusted fence. This dramatic visual element of the tool performs flawlessly. Cast from silicon brass, the fence is powder-coated and then dressed to reveal the plane profile motif. It is very striking and worthy of a collector quality plane. The removable fence travels on two steel rods and is locked in place with our trademark brass knobs that are infilled with either rosewood or ebony.
