Three Blades for Every Challenge
Wood is anything but uniform—it has long grain, short grain, quarter grain, end grain, and even cranky grain. It can be hard or soft, stringy or dense. MTC low-angle planes are designed to handle all these variations. Each of the three blades offers a different cutting angle tailored for specific tasks: a very low 25-degree angle for precise end grain shaving, a versatile 38-degree for general smoothing, and a high 50-degree angle for tackling figured and challenging timbers.

The 25 Degree Blade
MTC low angle planes are supplied with a 25 degree blade standard. Together with the cast bed angle of the plane of 12 degrees, the effective cutting angle achieved is 37 degrees. Using the block plane, this bevel angle is perfect for shaving across end grain - the short ends of your wood where you are cutting laterally across the grain. End grain can be tough work without the right gear. Your MTC plane fitted with a sharp low 25 degree blade is the perfect tool for this job.
The 38 Degree Blade
Available is a 38 degree blade, add the bed angle and you have an effective cutting angle of 50 degrees. This bevel angle is perfect for smoothing surfaces across or along the grain. Set in the block plane, this blade is perfect for planing fine edges, chamfering and trimming fitted parts.
The 50 Degree Blade
The 50 degree blade produces an effective cutting edge of 62 degrees. This very high cutting angle is ideal for smoothing figured timbers where tear out is a problem. Set in the block plane, this blade is great for working isolated patches of tear out smooth or for shaping delicate decorative pieces made from figured wood.
