Spiers Of Ayr Mitre Plane Review By: I.Ball

Manufacturer: Spiers Of Ayr

Plane Type: Infill - Mitre

Model No:


           

An old Spiers Of Ayr infill mitre plane.

This plane has a dovetailed sole with double screwed sides holding the bridge in place and a single screw at the front and the rear holding the front infill and rear infill in place respectively.

The Rosewood wedge is very elegant with a delicate shaped bottom edge and a double stepped top.

These particular Spiers planes photographed were 7 inch long by 2 inch wide and 9 inch long by 2 5/8 inch wide. The original iron was a snecked plane blade, in the first photos case it was a Ward snecked plane iron. The second photo shows a replacement blade.

These mitre planes had a very fine mouth.

"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."
