No. 9-1/2 and No. 10-1/2

The difference between the No. 9-1/2 and the No. 10-1/2 is one inch on the sole and 3/8” on the width of the iron. The scrub plane is designed to be the first plane used on rough lumber to start the flattening process. It is also used to help correct lumber that has racked, bowed, or cupped. The plane has a fixed wide convex mouth and a 1” thick iron bedded at a 45 degree angle to remove stock at a rapped pace. Because of the thick iron, this plane does not need a chip breaker with the iron. The iron is supported with a thick plate cast on the inside cheeks and the bed with an angled top. The knob and tote are hardwood with a mahogany finish. The scrub plane was never rebranded, so the embossed name and number can be seen on the bed until the end of production.
