Both are (12.7 mm) wide at their widest point.- Adjustable Blade Direction: The entire blade lift mechanism can face either forward or backward. Use the forward position for most operations, and the reverse position for getting into otherwise impossible-to-reach corners.- Adjustable and Removable Fence: The adjustable fence can be attached to either the left or right side of the router plane. The fence piece can also be flipped around to reference either flat or curved edges.- Quick Depth Adjustment: The cutting depth can be adjusted without having to unlock the blade, allowing for quicker operation so you can speed through cuts. It can cut up to 1.5 Inch (38 mm) deep.- Blade Holder for Easy Sharpening: The blade holder can be used for both storage and sharpening with any honing guide (including the sharpening jig we carry in our store).- Attachments for Auxiliary Fences: Both the router plane base and fence come with holes for attaching auxiliary fences. If you need a bigger reference surface, simply attach one with 10 bolts or screws.- Depth Gauge in Imperial and Metric: The adjustable depth gauge on the front of the lift mechanism tells you the precise depth your blade is set to whether your brain thinks in inches or millimeters.- Die Steel Body: Die steel is a high-carbon steel with superior hardness, strength, and rust resistance.Zero Backlash: While developing this tool, we studied other high-end router planes on the market. The issue we found across the board was a backlash even when the blade was fully locked down, it would shift during cuts. We developed a unique locking mechanism that has zero backlash. Even in stupidly deep cuts. That means ultimate precision and reliability.Faster Operation: The blade lift mechanism in this router plane is unlike any other on the market. You can adjust the cutting depth even when the blade is locked down. Why is that cool? Because it allows you to speed through cuts. On other router planes, you set the blade depth, lock it down, make a pass, unlock it, adjust the depth, lock it down, make a pass you get the idea.
