CT-12 40°BENCH PLANE
The CT-12 features an articulated iron cap (patent in process) that looks and works differently than any other iron cap or double iron assembly. This uniquely hinged device “pre-loads” the cutting edge with a force greater than any resistance encountered during use. In addition, the mass spanning the entire bevel of the iron deadens vibration, which provides for much smoother cutting and helps prolong edge life. The articulated iron cap also functions as an ideal chip breaker (which helps minimize grain tear-out) and eliminates the hassle of taking apart a double iron when sharpening is required. No shavings will wedge under this chip breaker.
This plane has only been lightly used and shows some user marks, but is otherwise in MINT condition. The polished plane iron has a fine bevel and sharpened edge on it and has been left in original found condition. This is a rare collectors tool, but is an absolute dream to use for those who want the best.
