<p>Here's a video further explaining and demonstrating the tool:</p><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://youtu.be/JXpb81r2ULg"></oembed></figure><p>An adjustable router plane, inspired by the one designed by Paul Sellers, but can accept a chisel for the cutter, and with ergonomics similar to the Veritas large router plane. &nbsp;</p><p>This plane is designed to accept a 1/2" or 12mm chisel as the cutter, but I've included a .step and a Freecad copy of the insert so you can edit it to fit whatever width of cutter you want.&nbsp; It was designed as an insert, so that one can customize for different cutter sizes and not have to print an entire body just to swap out to a different cutter.&nbsp; In case anyone wants to make their own wooden insert instead of printing I have also included a template drawing of that part.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p><p>A clamp on part provides the engagement with an adjustment wheel, so no notches are required in the cutter like in Paul Sellers' plane.&nbsp; Two versions of this clamp are included, one for thin chisels, and another that should accept a square cutter or a mortise chisel.&nbsp; If a depth stop is desired, just print a second clamp and install it below the one engaged with the wheel. &nbsp; Users may wish to add a wood base, so insert nut locations were added for four attachment points 130mm X 54mm&nbsp; centre to centre measurements.&nbsp; A .pdf template is included.&nbsp; All the adjustments, clamps, knobs and nut inserts are designed around the same threads.&nbsp; There are two versions, one for 1/4"-20 fasteners and the other M6.&nbsp; For the main adjustment screw I used a 4" carriage bolt, but a bolt about 3" or 75mm is probably ideal.&nbsp; For the clamp knobs I used 1-3/8" bolts, but anything from 1-1/8" to 1-3/8" should work fine, and for the metric version that would be 28mm-35mm.&nbsp;&nbsp; The chisel clamp bolt can be nearly any length greater than 1/4" or 6mm.</p><p>I used PETG with 15% infill for all the parts, 3 perimeters for all but the clamp bar where I used 7. &nbsp;&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
