The person who commissioned this plane is no longer with us and I am not sure who owns this plane now. I did not stamp my name on it as it was not my design. With the wedge on runners it works well and is comfortable to use. Now I have dug the photo out it looks better than I remember and there could be possibilies with this design.
Could you please explain what you mean by the wedge is on runners. Thanks
Scott

Hi Scott
The runners are basically similiar to the old drawer runners, a 1/4″ square fillet of mild steel. There is a groove either side of the wedge corresponding to the runners. Primative but it works.

Hi
See the answer to Scott’s question. It is very comfortable and the best ergonomic solution I have seen using a wedge in a mitre plane. Wedges are more ergonomic than lever caps in mitre planes.
