The HP-8 is an excellent small block plane by itself, but with the depth skids, it turns into an incredible, high precision, thickness plane. It is perfect for small plane work like inlay banding, guitar binding, Kumiko (Japanese latticework), or anywhere you need to accurately thickness multiple work pieces. Simply place the reference material (Masonite, playing card, gage pins) for your desired thickness under the front and rear of the sole. Drop the depth skids to the bench, tighten, and start planing. It will stop planing at the desired height within .001” The widest piece you can plane is 1-1/8”. The plane body is milled from a billet of aircraft-grade aluminum and anodized for a beautiful, smooth finish. The Depth Skids are also aluminum and will give you years of service. The plane iron is bedded bevel up at 12° and with a bevel angle of 30° you are working at 42°. Plane blade made of A2 steel. No lateral blade adjustment. Adjustable mouth piece.

    Bridge City Tool Works

    Bridge City Tool Works was founded in the USA 1983 by John Economaki. Driven by perfection, the tool designer has managed to win over numerous tool enthusiasts all around the world for his perfect pieces. The appeal of the exceptional design of the tools lies in their futuristic presentation that at the same time strictly follows the credo »form follows function«.
    In 2018, after 35 years of day-to-day operations, John Economaki felt it was time to take a step back and focus his attention on what he enjoys doing most, designing tools. In order to do so, Harvey - a company that had a licensed production for Bridge City Tools since 2013 - acquired Bridge City Tool Works. Harvey's commitment is to continue the legacy of Bridge City Tool Works built by John, who will still be the master designer for Bridge City and will oversee quality control.
