Made in Germany by fifth-generation toolmaker E.C. Emmerich (ECE). This double iron plane has E.C.E.'s patented wedge adjustment for blade depth. The body is hard Beechwood and the sole is hard durable Hornbeam wood; they are bonded together using ECE's patented glue joint. The plane is much lighter than iron jointer planes—under 7 1/2 lbs.—making it easier to control and use. The No.101-S is 24" (600mm) long—well suited to jointing work on long boards, like tables, and for making perfectly flat surfaces. The blade iron is substantial, measuring 2 3/8" (60mm) wide, bedded at 45 degrees, and made of German vanadium-chomium steel hardened to RC62. ECE planes are ready to use out of the box. A slight additional honing of the blade will improve performance. This tool comes directly from the manufacturer and carries the full manufacturer's lifetime warranty.
Features:
Patented ECE wedge adjustment for blade control. Hornbeam wood sole with Beechwood body. Vanadium-Chromium steel blade 2-3/8 inch bedded at a 45 degree angle Made in Germany
Proposition 65, the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, was initiated in California. Under this act, a list of chemicals that are known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm is published annually. This list contains more than 700 chemicals that can be found in consumer and industrial products or services, in addition to chemicals that are released into the environment.
As part of this California law, businesses are required to provide warnings for products that may contain any listed chemical. As such, the following warning will be included on specific product web pages and included with all orders shipped to the state of California:
WARNING: These products may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Products most likely to require Proposition 65 warnings include brass items, finishing products, items made of PVC. The state of California's advice regarding safe handling of most of these products is to wash your hands after handling.
