ECE Moving Fillister Plane

I have the dovetail plane; I believe the setup is similar except there is no depth stop on the dovetail plane. Just 2 machines screws in a slotted fence. I use an adjustable square to line the fence up and tighten the screws. It’s a pretty simple nothing fancy setup. I don’t have any trouble with it, though I have to add, I rarely use the plane.

Just realized that LV had an additional picture on their website that show the plane from the underside so you can clearly see how the fence and depth stop work.” http://www.leevalley.com/shopping/AddViews.aspx?p=55609":http://www.leevalley.com/shopping/AddViews.aspx?p=55609

Thanks for the input Mark. It was quite helpful. Am I correct in assuming that the reason you don’t use yours much is because you don’t cut a lot of sliding dovetails or is there another reason?

If anyone else has any experience using either the dovetail or fillister plan from ECE I’d love to hear about it.

Correct about why I don’t use it much, it is kind of a specialty plane, it does do a great for sliding dovetails!!! I’ve had it for years, it still has the price tag on the box $59.99 …man I’m getting old : )
