Produce clean, thin shavings.
Rider plane blades are made in the UK. They fit Rider planes, Stanley, Record, Footprint and many other Bailey type bench planes. The 50mm (2”) will fit No. 4 and No. 5 planes. Rider plane blades are 3mm thick O1 high carbon steel, hardened to HRC 61-64. These British made high quality blades hold a very good edge and require only a light honing before use. Treat your plane to a blade that will hold a keen edge and cut clean, thin shavings.
O1 tool steel offers good durability, has excellent wear resistance and holds a good cutting edge. This high carbon tool steel is relatively easy to sharpen and hone using conventional methods. A final wipe on a strop produces a very fine edge. A sharp O1 blade is a joy to use.
Note: At 3mm Rider blades are thicker than most original blades supplied as standard. A thicker blade has many advantages, but in some cases may require a slightly longer cap iron screw. Occasionally the mouth of the plane may need fettling; opening slightly with a file.
