Rider No. 77 2-in-1 Bullnose gyalu

The Rider 2-in-1 plane combines the functions of a bull-nose plane using the small nose section or a chisel plane with the nosepiece removed. Cast from fine grey iron, it is precision machined, precision ground and polished to ensure accurate results. The sole is flat and the sides are square to the sole. The 27 mm(1-1/16") full width blade is micro adjustable for precise control of the depth of cut. The blade is a fraction of a smidgen wider than the body making it easier to work into a corner. The bronze, polished, arched lever cap makes the plane comfortable and easy to use. A shim between the body and nosepiece allows you to vary the width of the mouth for fine or coarse work. This plane’s original intention was for trimming of joints when it came to fine-tuning for the final fit of the joint. A function it ideally fulfils today.

Rider planes only require the bare minimum of initial preparation. The blade is oil quenched, high carbon spring steel, hardened and tempered to HRC 63, and only requires a little honing before use. We are confident that Rider planes represent a good standard in traditional, quality plane manufacture and great value.
