A Carriage Makers Plane also
known as a Bench Rabbet Plane,
Coach Makers Plane,
Jack Rabbet and a
Smooth Rabbet
is a
woodwork rebate plane
which looks like a
smoothing plane or
jack plane
but with the full width blade rebate plane feature.
The carriage makers plane / bench rabbet plane is designed for rebate
/ rabbet work and panel work, particularly for long rebate / panel
work.
The well known
old iron carriage maker planes
have a 45 degree bed and
operate a bevel down blade (like most
iron smoothing planes
and iron jack planes).
The carriage makers plane blade and cap iron are a special 'T' shape
in order to fit into the plane wall openings.
The carriage makers plane is an advancement of the
Wooden Badger Plane.
As the name of the plane suggests, it was a tool type well suited to
carriage makers / coach makers who worked panels and carriage doors.
In the late 1800's, Stanley began selling their
Stanley 10 and
Stanley 10 1/2 Carriage Makers Plane
which were made for about 100 years.
During this very long production run, other players produced similar
versions in the form of the
Marples carriage makers plane
and the Record 010 and
Record 010 1/2 carriage makers planes.

"Just stumbled across your website and an absolute treasure trove of information.
I was recently given an old Stanley 110 block plane and wanted to know more about it.
Your website told me everything I needed to know.
But there is so much more to read. I forsee me spending a lot of time just reading
page after page. I can appreciate how much time this will have taken to put together.
I just wanted to let you know that your hard work is appreciated."
