HNT Gordon 1/8" Dado Plane
HNT Gordon 1/8" Dado Plane in Gidgee
Bought as part of a set, but the size doesn't quite suit the scale of my work. I'm selling it quickly before I accidentally start using it!
These are amazing tools to behold. This one is brand new, but the brass is slightly tarnished from storage. The blade still has its protective wax.
More info here:
1/8" dado plane – HNT Gordon & Co. Classic Planemakers Australia
Retail price is $540 - I'm asking $450 inc shipping anywhere in Australia. This is being sold through my business, so includes GST and a tax invoice, if that's relevant to you.

Hi Ben,
I feel like such an idiot but I read your description of the 1/8" plane but my brain saw 1/4"........
I'm so sorry but I already have a 1/8 and really stuffed you around.
Sorry.

I'm seeing a lot of modern quality planes being put up for sale but can't understand why. This plane is made by a quality and knowledgeable fellow Australian tool maker and years to come it can only go up in value. What's not worth is the vintage that's being currently praised, sold and treated as a premium tool so, if you're not up the creek financially keep it. I apologise if I've over stepped the boundaries.

Too true. I've recently been trying to get some more router planes so I could leave some set up with a wooden sub-base and to be able to hone a blade to be perfectly flat with a given router.
It's just ridiculous what Stanley 71's are going for when a new Veritas router plane with two cutters is currently $314.
It's not hard to see HNT Gordon products become very valuable in years to come.

The Veritas router plane is out of stock on the lee valley website which I think has been the case for awhile. So that may account for the high prices of 71’s.
A Router plane/old woman’s tooth would be one of the easier planes to make wouldnt it ? You could do a matching set Cgcc! Bet HNT Gordon could produce a mean one....
re selling tools - depends if you have the space to store them or want to collect stuff you don’t use. I’m more than happy to move a tool along that’s not in use.
I’d like to thank the OP for providing such a great conversation starter !You boys like Mexico ?

Lee Valley had stock pretty recently, took delivery of a large router plane last week. They're definitely having trouble keeping up with some stuff though, I had an order for combination blades and some of them got pushed from mid August to end August and then to end of JANUARY. I cancelled them from the order.

I bought a mint side rabbet plane and it was months before I actually used it, but when I did I was glad I had it. That's the same with that plane, it's not an everyday usage plane but when you need it you'll be glad you have it. Just a thought.

I'm glad you decided to keep it and I'm sure you won't regret it, after all you once bought it you just forgot why. Take care.
