The Ryder Hobby Brass Plane. These planes are very useful for hobbyists for doing small precise jobs where a bigger plane would be too large. Manufactured from selected brass having a hard wood surface which is accurately ground. Blades are hardened and tempered. They are great for adjusting the soles of small planes, as well as for touch up on full size projects.
A quality miniature block plane. Precision made from Rosewood & brass with an adjustable high carbon steel blade, these 3" (76 mm) long planes are as functional as they are attractive! Great for model making & very fine detail work. Perfect for small jobs modelling, dollhouse makers or dabblers.
Mitre Square is a tool used to mark out angles for miter joints, with two blades set at a 45° angle or adjustable to any angle. This miter square is a must-have tool for every carpenter or handyman’s toolbox.
A marking gauge is for general layout work. Gauge made with metal screws and hardened spur. The gauge needs to be tilted just right to the side to avoid pin chatter to maintain your line.
This brass gauge is identical to the German made models, but less expensive. The quality is such, however, that one can hardly tell the difference. Its made of solid brass and features notched jaws for inside/outside measurements as well as a one millimeter increment Vernier gauge.
The double square is one of the must-have woodworking and carpentry tools. Just like the speed square, try square, framing square, T square, and combination square, the double square works hand-in-glove to make your jobs such as squareness checking, marking, and scribing become easier. Professionals should have them all because when it comes down to it, each of them plays a unique role that makes them quite irreplaceable. The body of a double square consists of a head (handle) and a blade. The head can slide along the blade. Therefore, two things set this tool apart from other woodworking and machinist tools: firstly, they are adjustable, and secondly, they can be applied to check the squareness of corners from both ends. Speed square and try square is not adjustable.
The Ryder No.5 is usually the first plane used on rough sawed timber. A No.5 is very versatile, used to flatten, size, square and smooth. The main casting is ductile iron chosen for its high strength and impact resistance. It has an adjustable frog, depth and lateral blade control and Indian hardwood handles.
The No.7 Jointer plane is designed for stock removal and truing long edges or levelling wide boards.

It's handy for these type of things.
The No. 80 cabinet scraper produces a clean even finish and is ideal when used to smooth difficult grain over large areas. Tightening the knob, behind the blade, causes a slight bow in the blade. This increases the bite and hence the thickness of shaving. The iron casting with a flat, machined base. The base measures 90mm x 68mm, the blade is 70mm wide.
The RYDER No. 4 1/2 has the heft to help finely smooth, even the most difficult grain. A No. 4 1/2 with its wide blade can cover a greater area in fewer strokes. The main casting is ductile iron chosen for its high strength and impact resistance. It has an adjustable frog, depth and lateral blade control and Indian hardwood handles. The cap iron and other quality fittings on the planes are solid brass, an ideal material for moving parts. The sole is 255mm long with a 60mm wide blade. The sole of the plane is flat and accurate.
Ryder planes are suitable for home or professional use on the bench or on site. The No. 7, the longest of the Ryder planes, its length enables it to level bumps and hollows and leave a true edge for accurate edge jointing of boards. The No. 7 is useful for the final flattening of a surface before using a smoothing plane. Ryder planes are fitted with a British made high quality blade. The blade is O1 high carbon steel, 3mm thick and hardened to HRC 61-64. It is capable of holding a very fine edge. It is flat, well finished and comes with a 25° bevel. These quality blades require only minimal preparation before use from new.
The Ryder No. 5 1/2, compared to the No. 5, its longer length and wider blade make a better choice for flattening boards and truing panels. The extra mass gives it more heft, a great help when doing the initial surface preparation on a board. At the same time, being slightly lighter and shorter than its larger cousin, it is more manageable, and yet equally as good for fore-plane work.
The Ryder No.10 carriage rabbet plane is an extra versatile jack - i.e., can do everything a jack can do, plus rabbet work of various sorts. The main difference in the premium quality is the brass lever cap, adjuster nut, and lateral blade adjustment lever. It is used when doing home improvement sorts of "finish carpentry" jobs where you need to fashion moldings or various long or wide rabbeted pieces for doors, window frames, trim, and baseboards. It's handy for these types of things.

The Ryder 3-in-1 plane, shoulder a truly versatile plane, bull nose and chisel in one precision-machined package. Changing from one function to the other is simply a matter of removing the shoulder or bull nose piece turning it in to a chisel plane. 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 27mm full width blade is micro adjustable for precise control of the depth of cut. The blade is a fraction wider than the body making it easier to work into a corner. The polished, arched lever cap makes the plane comfortably and easy to use. A shim between the body and shoulder piece allows you to vary the width of the mouth for fine or coarse work.
