Made in Sheffield by Thomas Flinn

Clifton no 7 jointer plane. Its extra length is used for truing up edges prior to glue-up, as well as flattening large surfaces like countertops and tabletops

The body and frog are made from accurately machined grey cast iron with their sides and sole fully ground (shows mearest specks of rust to right hand side, from long term storage, which should polish out easily if desired. (see photo)

Its extra thick, 2 3/8" wide cutting Iron is made from cryogenically treated 01 steel, hardened and tempered to 60-62 Rockwell C and precision ground

Taken from Record Stayset idea, the cap iron has a two piece design, to offer rigid clamping along with ease of sharpening, without disturbing settings of the cap iron

The frog and frog seating in the body of these planes are based on the Bedrock design, first seen on early Stanley planes, meaning the seating pad in the body is full face, fully machined to mate with an equivalent full face, fully machined underside of the Frog

Polished to a satin finish, the lever cap is made from grey cast iron and stamped with the Clifton logo

Knob and handle, are I believe made of Bubinga. The knob appears to have a shrinkage crack but is sound and doesn't impinge on the use of the plane

UNUSED and comes in its original slightly marked through storage, box . (current listed selling price is £477)

Although Clifton planes are normally described as being usable straight from the box, we would still recommend honing to suit your own needs

Overall length of the plane is 22"

Weighs in at a majestic 10 lbs 6ozs (4.71 kgs)
