Atlas handplane
« on: December 04, 2014, 10:57:46 PM »
I can't find any information on who made this handplane. The only marking on it is the Atlas decal in front of the tote

That's a tough one.  The lateral adjuster lever looks almost, but not quite, like Millers Falls, but the depth adjusting wheel doesn't - and looks like really cheap work.  Do you know from where Atlas hails? Could this be an overseas (as in Pacific Rim - Japan, Taiwan, China) product?

There are no markings on the blade or cap iron.
