Axminster Rider No 80 Scraper Plane - Product Overview

The Rider No. 80 cabinet scraper produces a clean even finish and is ideal when used to smooth difficult grain over large areas. Tightening the knob, behind the blade, causes a slight bow in the blade. This increases the bite and hence the thickness of shaving. The body of the No. 80 is a fine, grey, iron casting with a flat, machined base. The base measures 90mm(3-1/2") x 68mm(2-5/8"), the blade is 70mm(2-3/4") wide. Checked for consistent quality at Axminster and supplied in an attractive, foam lined, sturdy black box with an instruction booklet.
Rider planes only require the bare minimum of initial preparation. The blade is oil quenched, high carbon spring steel, hardened and tempered to HRC 63, and only requires a little honing before use. Every plane undergoes careful inspection in Axminster to ensure consistent quality. We are confident that Axminster Rider planes represent a good standard in traditional, quality plane manufacture and great value.

Had a difficult time finding information on the set up of this scraper. Thanks.

I’m really pleased with mine, I’m of the 'arthritic fingers' category of user so it’s a real blessing. I did go with the bur as I thought it was the 'correct' way to do it. Although flattening the sole did take a while no more that most planes for me and certainly faster than my Stanley spokeshave. It’s also a job you only ever do once. The scraper is very well made and is very solid, the craftsmanship is great and I certainly don’t see me having to buy any more. In fact I can see it turning up at a car boot sale in a hundred years with someone getting a bargain...that’s assuming we have cars in a hundred years.

No nice black boxes now. Just plain old cardboard. The No 80 is spot on though
