ChetlovesMer Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I'd love to own a Sauer and Steiner InFill smooth plane. However, as you may know they are quite spendy. Does anyone know if they still produce the kit? If so where can I get one? If not, is there somebody else out there who produces similar quality who makes a kit? BTW - It is amazing how many people don't know what an infill plane is. I put infill plane into the search on ebay and scads of planes which are not infill showed up. ... I thought it odd.

Another kit option is St. James Bay Tool Co. http://www.stjamesbaytoolco.com/ Looks like there are many options, from parts to rough castings, to machined castings and full kits. Maybe not as elegant as Brese, but a little less pricey, too, for the full size smoothers. FWW did a review on the build a number of years ago.

One of these days I'm going to bite the bullet and buy a kit to build my own infill smoother. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt this guy does kits but, if you really want the Rolls-Royce of hand planes these are the business. www.holteyplanes.com Take a look but be prepared to dig DEEP Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
