Millers Falls No. 85 Rabbet and Fillister Plane
as illustrated in the 1961 Millers Falls catalog.
Rabbet and Fillister Plane
This addition to the Millers Falls plane Line has every desirable in a rabbet plane built into it. It is equipped with two cutter seats — a rear seat for regular work with a lever adjustment of the blade for depth, and a forward seat for bull-nosed work.
The fence is adjustable on the steel arm. The steel arm and the fence can be used on either side of the plane as work requires. When the arm and fence are entirely removed, the plane can be used for a wide variety of uses. A three-point spur and a depth gauge are also part of the equipment. The depth gauge can be removed entirely when desired.
Body of plane nicely finished in black enamel. Bottom and both sides accurately ground. Trimmings and small parts nickel plated. (1938 description)
