Soften the exposed edges of your work with a radius or Chamfer
Crisp, clean edges from your saws and planers make your joinery come together professionally. But those sharp edges detract from the look and feel of your finished piece. They’re also vulnerable to damage and can be sharp enough to cut. That’s why experienced furniture and cabinetmakers soften the exposed edges of their work with a chamfer or radius.
This Woodpeckers Deluxe Set of Four Ez-Edge Corner Planes make quick work of edge relief without changing bits in your router or plugging in anything. Just a few quick strokes with one of the four planes and you have either 1/8in (3.2mm), 3/16in (4.8mm) or 1/4in (6.4mm) radius or 45-degree chamfer.
EZ Edge Corner Plane
EZ-Edge Corner Planes can be adjusted for the most subtle cuts possible or take a few more passes to create more dramatic profiles. You have absolute control over the appearance of the cut (unlike softening an edge with a block plane). Each pass you take enlarges the bevel or radius an equal amount on both the face and edge, so it’s always perfectly centred.
The vee-shaped sole of the EZ-Edge is a perfect 90°. When you rest it on the corner of your stock it centres the cutter right on the edge. The thumbwheel adjustment for the depth of cut falls conveniently under your thumb, just dial it in and watch the whisper thin shaving curl out of the plane as you glide along the board’s edge.
The machined aluminium bodies are comfortable to hold, with a profile reminiscent of antique moulding and rabbet planes. The bodies are carefully anodized to reduce friction and provide a long-lasting wear surface that won’t mar your stock. The blade adjustment system is engineered to deliver smooth adjustment and minimal backlash. Put it all together and you have tools that perform flawlessly, feel good in your hands and will last for generations.
Cutters
The EZ-Edge cutters are machined from 01 tool steel for the ultimate in sharpness, hardened, and then precision ground and polished. They hold their edge remarkably well, even on tough material, but when they do need re-sharpening, it’s as simple as honing the flat side on any honing stone. Replacement cutters are available, so you can always have one sharp and ready to go. All the profiles fit the same body, so you can share one body with multiple cutters.
Rack-It Storage
Each EZ-Edge comes with a wall-mountable Rack-It for convenient storage. Changing the look of your piece is as simple as grabbing the next EZ-Edge off its Rack-It.
Like all Woodpeckers products, the EZ-Edge Corner Planes are precisely machined and carefully inspected at Woodpeckers Strongsville, Ohio factory (just south of Cleveland).
