Category: Old Wooden Planes
Manufacturer: Various
Tool Type: Wooden Planes
Plane Type: Grooving, Tonguing And Checking
The old British wooden grooving, tonguing and checking planes were in
effect a tongue and groove combination plane.
They combined the common pairs of
tongue and groove planes into
one plane.
These planes I don't believe were made by a large number of makers.
I have come across an Alex Mathieson version (which seems like the most
common one) and an unnamed version.
This type of plane is very distinctive with its push-me pull-me look
of the blades / wedges facing each other.
These combination tongue and groove planes were produced in an iron
form by Stanley with the
Stanley 148 tongue and groove plane.
