Topic tags/keywords: plane This plane is listed on an online auction at Tarleton State University in Stephenville, TX. Is is listed as a Stanley plainer! Looks like it might plane the inside of a miter joint. Is it for wood? Or something else? I don’t really have a clue. Just looks interesting.

It’s probably called a corner plane. Irony. -- A positive attitude will take you much further than positive thinking ever will. |

Looks like it might be able to clean up a rabbet joint but thats about my best guess. Hope someone has fun with it -- It's made of wood. Real sturdy.--Chubbs Peterson |

Otherwise known as a Core Box plane. used to make large cove moldings. These also had “wings” one could add on, in case the molding was a might deep. yep, it is for wood. Look up in the space between a wall and a ceiling, this plane type would have been used to help make crown moldings. -- A Planer? I'M the planer, this is what I use |

That’s one of those things that I’d be tempted to buy just because it looks so cool… BUt then it’d wind up sitting on a shelf and I’d never use it! -- Perform A Random Act Of Kindness Today ... Pay It Forward |

This is a Stanley #57 Core Box plane, with the extensions bolted on. One could do up to a 5” radious circle with this. Pattern maker type of plane. -- A Planer? I'M the planer, this is what I use |
