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.

"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."
