The Luban Chisel plane has a chisel perched a top a wedge to control the angle, edge in front and a depth adjustment to control the cut. This simple idea has many practical applications from removing excess glue to trimming proud dowels and pocket hole plugs. Chisel Planes come in a small and large version, both featuring stainless steel cast bodies and Mn65 steel blades. They are designed to accomplish tasks that just can not be completed by your typical standard plane. The weight is all in the front end of the plane, this helps to positively register the sole. Without the support in the front the plane handles more like a paring chisel. These planes make for a wonderful clean-up tool, excellent at removing dried glue or flush trimming plugs and joints. It is comfortable to use, similar to a block plane.
