what type of plane is this?

[Brandon Speaks]

Hey guys. Was buying some stuff at a pawn shop and ended up with this plane and this other mystery tool thrown in.

The plane is Ohio tool co. It has a fence, depth stop, and a knicker.

Not sure what the other item is, at first thought it was a saw set for a large saw, but really have no idea. Either way they cost me essentially nothing so interesting if nothing else.

?? I did post pictures, would not have expected much more than guesses without them. Are they not showing up? I think they must be because Stewie nailed the identification of the plane it seems.

I had to google Fillister Plane to be sure it was a rabbet plane. I was tempted to say wooden plane, but I didn't.
The definition said fillister planes were used making sash and windows.

Brandon,

+1 on Stewie, classic wooden moving Fillister plane.

By the way, in my view you have an extremely useful plane from a functionality point of view. It is definitely a keeper if in good working condition. Super buy!

This plane is a moving fillister.

A fillister plane is a rabbet plane with a fence. A common fillister has a fixed fence to make a rabbet of a standard width. A moving fillister has a fence that can be adjusted to make a rabbet of a specific width.

A sash fillister has a gap between the fence and the iron. When used to make sash, the fence rides on the front side of the window stiles or muntins (the side toward the inside of the house), while the iron cuts a rabbet on the back side of the stiles etc, (toward the outside).

It appears to be good and functional. Iron is in great shape just needs minimal sharpening. Got these two items, 3 rabbett planes and an atkins saw that is in great condition and a decent brace for $30 out the door.

Stewie, “findmytool” is a great resource...wasn’t aware of it...thank you for posting.

So as a kind of follow up to my dado post, to get the terminology right, is it called a rabbet if it’s with the grain, and a fillister if it’s against the grain?

Stewie -- Allow me to add my thanks for those links.

That Rex sure looks like a leather awl for belts holes or maybe even a cobbler. Hard to tell without a sense of scale.

Or perhaps one of those hand presses you use to attach snaps or rivets.

Phil; preferably, rabbet & fillister planes should be worked with the grain when forming a rebate.

The pictures in post 1 are not from SMC website. They are linked in from another photo service (not sure which one). My computer at work 'blocks' images from that site and others such as ones Stewie S posts. You should be able to change an option in your browser to allow links like this to be shown.

Have no reason to change any of MY settings, just to see a couple little pictures....Have other things to do....
