A smaller version of the No. 75. Cast alloy body, no depth adjustment.

Construction

The No. 100 is the miniature bull-nose rabbet plane — 76 mm (3") sole, 16 mm (⅝") iron. Cast alloy body, lighter than the No. 75. Simple wedge or screw iron retention. No lateral adjuster or depth stop.

Use

Very small rebates and tight corners in small-scale work. The 16 mm iron limits it to narrow work. Collector item; less common in active use today than the No. 75 or No. 78.
