Stanley No. 46 Skew Cutter Combination Plane

The Stanley No. 46 Skew Cutter Combination Plane looks almost identical to the Stanley 45, except that the cutters are skewed or angled with respect to the bottom of the plane, and no beading or moulding blades were offered with them. Early models of the 46 and 47 had no fence, although the early 46's had a guard plate that attached to the outside skate to facilitate rabbeting. The guard was dropped when the 46 was given a fence similar to the 45.

It was manufactured between 1873 and 1942. It measures 10 1/2" long and is made of cast iron with rosewood handles and fence. After 1873 the cast iron planes were nickel plated as is the one shown in the photos. Earlier planes were japanned.

The photo below shows the skewed cutter area.
