More For My Router Plane Kit

I am hoping that most of you have made the upgrade to the Paul Sellers' Router Plane because once you have made your own from the kit and used it just once you will most likely never go back to an all-metal version.

The router plane kit comes with a Sheffield-made, 3/8" (10mm) ready-hardened tool steel cutting iron which works for 99% of router work be that levelling the bottom of housing dadoes or surfacing tenons for guaranteed parallelity to the outside faces either side of the tenon.

I have added two accessories to my personal router plane that adds to the functionality of the plane in two key areas of routing: one, this collar gives me repeatability of final depths for say guaranteeing the depths of several housings or dadoes as in bookshelves and drawer backs, and two, the installation of a narrower cutting iron for narrow housing, small areas and such.

I will be expounding on making these additional pieces on my blog to show you how I did it in the near future, meanwhile, if you haven't yet ordered your Router Plane Kit here is the link to get you going.
