Thread: What is this tool

Crudely home made Cabinet scraper

Leatherwork???

Possibly for sizing thin lathes or strips of wood.
The Vees would be for chamfering the edges.
Adjustable for size of material by the looks of it.

Correction my original post was meant the say "Box Scraper"

it looks a lot like an old Fibre Board Cutter.

Now you have me interested how would you use it to cut Fibre Board

Stanley made a couple of 'Fibre Board cutting planes' also - may be some instructions out there on the net (for the stanley No 193 and 194). they all seem to have the angled blades/blade bed to cut a bevel, though think maybe they could also do grooves. I've never used one though...

Stanley 194 & 195 fibre board beveller plane

Stanley No. 193 Fibre Board Cutter Plane - Handplane Central

actually that hans brunner web site has some instructions...

I think you might be correct re it being a fibreboard plane.
These were used to chamfer the edges of the board.
A mate has a Record one his father used whenlining a picture theatre he built down Wagga way.
I scored a complete mint 193 in Canada at a garage sale a few years back.
Even though Hans and a few other sites describe it as the most useless plane Stanley made I found someone who couldn’t live with out it so made it worthwhile bringing it back to Oz.

.Fibre board trimming plane. The 2 V notches are to allow access to the screws holding the blade. The adjustable fence allows for different size chamfers. The blade is mounted at an angle to allow for a slicing action which leaves a clean crisp edge on the seen face.
I have seen a purpose made one using a safety razor blade for a one repair off job when I was an apprentice.

Thanks, I have never seen one before
