Router Plane: Precision Depth Control

The router plane has a blade protruding downward from its base. It's designed to level the bottoms of dados, grooves, and hinge mortises to exact, consistent depth.

Why Router Planes Matter

After chopping a dado or mortise, the router plane ensures the bottom is perfectly flat and at precise depth. Essential for inlay work, hinge mortises, and any joinery requiring exact depth control.
