These tools have been designed for the discerning woodworker and modelmaker who requires more manageable tools for intricate smaller applications such as model boats, planes, windows, toys, jewellery boxes, and display cases etc Despite their size, the tools are made from top quality materials such as hardwoods, brass fittings and also to the same exacting standards as their regular sized counterparts

The No.7 Jointer plane is designed for stock removal and truing long edges or levelling wide boards. Made with a quality grey cast iron body for strength and stability with precision ground base and sides for flatness and squareness. Machined seatings eliminate movement and blade judder. A lever cap with a brass locking screw secures the blade assembly and enables easy release for sharpening. Wooden handles and guidance knobs maximise user comfort. A solid brass blade adjustment nut completes the appeal of these traditional tools. Blade will require honing before use.

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.
