Introducing Blue Spruce Toolworks Chisel Plane - a tool that combines flexibility and precision that's perfect for tasks like mortising, dovetailing, paring, small-scale work, and beyond. Optima remains a reliable choice for craftsmen tackling a wide range of projects.
Blue Spruce Chisel Plane: Effortless End-Grain Paring and Versatile Woodworking Performance
The Optima Chisel Plane fills a unique space in Blue Spruce’s collection, excelling where other tools fall short. With just a few turns of a screwdriver, its innovative spearpoint blade accesses areas beyond the reach of even the most versatile chisels.
Ideal for numerous tasks such as trimming plugs, working on end-grain, paring joinery surfaces, cleaning glue squeeze-out, and navigating corners, the Chisel Plane excels in both expansive plywood projects and confined casework. Its elevated handle allows the iron to lie flat, offering a unique advantage over traditional paring chisels in certain situations.
The Chisel Plane features a lapped and polished iron as its tool sole, ensuring precise alignment with the blade screw and registration pin with each use. This design simplifies setup compared to similar tools, while its shallow bevel angle enables effortless paring of end-grain fibers. The Chisel Plane shares key features with the brand's chisel blades, including cryogenically treated A-2 tool steel, expert grinding, extensive lapping and polishing, and a hand-honed cutting edge, ensuring exceptional performance.
Durability and Flawless Design Make Blue Spruce Chisel Plane a Must-Have
Crafted with a rigid aluminum body, the Chisel Plane connects seamlessly with a resin-infused Maple tote, available in anodized Black or Blue Spruce Green finishes. This combination of materials ensures a durable tool that not only performs superbly but also maintains its aesthetic appeal across generations.
Additionally, the Chisel Plane features removable and interchangeable blades, enhancing its versatility and ease of maintenance. With its thoughtful design and premium materials, this tool is set to be a lasting addition to any woodworking collection.
