Minty Lie‑Nielsen No. 073 Large Shoulder Plane – In BoxA minty Lie‑Nielsen No. 073 Large Shoulder Plane, complete in its original box. It appears unused or used only a couple of times before being put away. Clean, crisp, and mechanically perfect—exactly what collectors and premium users hope to find.These elegant shoulder planes excel at trimming and refining cut joints, especially shoulders, rabbets, tenons, and grooves. The bronze lever cap sits higher for a secure grip and is positioned close to the blade bevel for excellent support. The mouth geometry provides superior chip clearance, and the adjustable mouth with large, convenient locking screws makes fine tuning effortless. The captured mouth‑adjustment screw moves the front shoe both in and out with precision. The captive‑nut blade adjustment is positive and reliable.Bodies are cast from ductile iron and ground dead flat and square—critical for a shoulder plane. The A2 tool‑steel blade is hardened to Rockwell 60–62, cryogenically treated, and double tempered for exceptional edge retention. Blades are bedded at 18°, beveled at 25°, and made .005″ wider than the body to guarantee crisp, true 90° cuts.A superb example of Lie‑Nielsen’s finest shoulder plane—boxed, minty, and ready for the bench or the collection.Always free shipping from Michael Rouillard Tools.
