Announcing our new handplane blades!
After months of prototyping and testing, we are finally ready to build our first production batch of handplane blades. They are made with a new super steel, CPM MagnaCut. This double tempered, cryogenically treated CPM (powder metal technology) provides the ideal combination of high wear resistance, unparalleled corrosion resistance and the ability to sharpen to an exceedingly keen edge.
We have a quantity of steel on hand for our first full production run with more steel coming in January. Currently we have a variety of bench and block plane upgrade blades available for antique Stanley / Bailey planes as well as modern planes from Lie-Nielsen™ and Lee Valley/Veritas™.
Also note that we are offering these upgraded plane blades now as a discounted pre-order via our website at www.LakeErieToolworks.com. Orders will be taken through November 30th, 2021 at which point we will manufacture the first batch of plane blades with shipping targeted for February 2022.
