Lee Valley Flat 'Little Victor' Plane
Description
Code 15P01.01
This little beauty is made in Canada and are expertly cast and ground, and is a tribute of the old Bailey "Little Victor" #51 block plane of 1877. It is a flat plane that is 3-1/8" (79mm) long and 1/4" (31.75mm) wide with a 1" blade - a true pocket plane!
The "Little Victor" #51 block plane was once advertised as the "perfect tool, useful in house, shop, bank, office and especially in scroll saw work".
A simple and effective tool with an elegant design, it is a great miniature-maker's or modelmaker's plane. For a highly controlled cut on a flat surface, it can be pushed with a thumb on the lipped toe while the palm of the hand is firmly planted on the work, similar to using two hands for a paring cut with a chisel.
The investment-cast steel body is accurately machined, has a 45° bed angle and a fixed mouth, and uses a cogwheel screw to secure the included 30° bevel O1 tool steel blade. Both the sole of the plane and the working surface* of the blade are lapped to a flatness tolerance of ±0.0002" or better.
Made in Canada.
* The working surface is the 1/2" section of the face closest to the cutting edge.
The 'Little Victor' weighs approximately 170g.
