Clico (Sheffield) Tooling Ltd. is the home of the world-renowned Clifton planes. From their small Sheffield based factory, Clico have been producing these high quality traditional style planes for many years. Clico's beginnings (some of their main products also include special aerospace tooling) was at Record Marples Tools, before making its way into the hands of Mr. A. Reid. It is now cared for in the same ways that all independent tool companies are, and they consider the needs of their customer's paramount to their progression. After working for many years in the tooling industry, Mr. Reid was appointed as The Master Cutler on behalf of The Company of Cutler's in Sheffield from Oct 2006 - Oct 2007. This is a privileged honoured to those who wish to serve and protect the rights of the use of the Sheffield name on products. This tradition has been acted upon since 1624 and attempted ways of regulating the cutlery industry that traditionally once boomed in Sheffield. Today, The Company of Cutlers provides a focus for the promotion and support of local manufacturing industries and businesses. At "The World of Woodworking" we are pleased to be supporting and also to be supported by the ideals of Clico (Sheffield) Tooling Ltd.

<strong>NEW!</strong> Clifton 770 Bull Nose Plane

NEW! Clifton 770 Bull Nose Plane

Price: £105.00 (Excluding VAT at 17.5%)

Quantity:

The latest addition to the Clifton plane family... the Clifton 770 Bull Nose plane. Made to the exacting specifications as all the other Clifton planes, this will certainly be a great purchase for those who want a quality bullnose plane. The 770 fulfills the need for a straight-forward bull nose plane enabling the user to plane close to an abutting section of wood and avoiding tear-out. It is a light handy plane often used for cutting rebate stop shoulders. The body is machined from quality grey iron castings and is precision ground on the sole and sides. The lever arm is also made of grey iron. The cutting iron fits smoothly onto the machined pad in the body and can be finely adjusted by means of the screw. The finish is bright ground and all edges have been rounded over to fit comfortably in the hand.

This plane has a cutter width of 1 1/8" (29mm) and is made from high quality oil hardened tool steel, 59-61 rockwell "C" hardness. The cutting edge is ground to 25 degrees primary and 30 degrees secondary.

Length - 4" (100mm)
Approx. weight 1.7Ibs (.650kgs)

Clifton Bench Plane no. 3

Price: £181.45 (Excluding VAT at 17.5%)

Quantity:

Some of Clico's more recognised products, the Clifton Bench Planes are both highly attractive and functional tool that aim to give you an accurate and smooth finish. Ideal for the cabinet maker and discerning woodworker, both amateur and professional. These planes are ready to use from the box and do not need hours of flattening and fettling to make them fit for use (though we appreciate many woodworkers will prefer to hone the cutting iron themselves.)

The Clifton Bench Planes are made from the finest materials: the body and frog are made from accurately machined grey cast iron with their sides and sole fully ground. The Knob and handle are carefully shaped, sanded and sealed from Bubinga hardwood. The Cutting Iron is hand forged from high carbon steel, hardened and tempered to 60-62 Rockwell C the precision ground and are 0.120" thick (3mm). The Cap Iron has a two piece design to offer rigid clamping. The Frog locating pins and screws are made from ground stainless steel and are polished. The Lever Cap are made from grey iron casting polished. Both the Screws and Adjusting Wheel are made from polished brass. The Y Lever is a solid one piece casting. The Adjusting Lever and some other components are made from polished stainless steel.

The frog and frog seating in the body of these planes are based on the BEDROCK design, first seen on early Stanley planes, meaning the seating pad in the bode is full face, fully machine to mate with an equivalent full face, fully machined underside of the Frog. This ensures absolute stability of the Frog, providing a firm and solid surface for the cutting iron, this again rests on a fully machined upper side of the Frog. When allied to the extra thick Clifton cutting iron and Clifton two piece cap iron. This design has probably the most rigid and effective clamping mechanism of any Bench plane available.

The accuracy of this mechanism allows for the cutting iron to be advanced to give a virtually "zero" mouth opening, so allowing the finest shavings to be taken even on the most difficult of timbers. The BEDROCK design uniquely allows the mouth width to be adjusted without dismantling the Frog and iron assembly. To adjust the mouth width, the Frog should be moved backwards or forwards as required. To do this, loosen the outside two of the three screws located at the back of the Frog seating pad (underneath the adjusting wheel), then turn the central screw clockwise to close the mouth and anti-clockwise to open the mouth.

Available in seven different types for all your planning needs.

Clifton Plane No. 3 has a cutter width of 1 .3/4" (44mm) and is used for smoothing.

Clifton Spare Bench Plane Blades

Quantity:

Please select required size:

Clifton Bench Plane cutting irons are made from high carbon steel which is hand forged. This forging process gives the steel multiple hammer blows which produce a very fine grain structure resulting in a cutting iron of 60 to 62 rockwell C hardness without any of the brittleness usually inevitable with very hard steel. This means that the Clifton blades both take an edge better than most other blades and hold it for longer. The Clifton blades are 0.12" thick (some 50% more than normal plane blades) so giving it increased rigidity. The blades are accurately ground. Each blade has an embossed brand name forged into it. Each blade is also individually checked for hardness. As the high carbon steel contains no alloying elements, the blade needs protecting in use from rust and finger marks with a light covering of oil.

Sizes are as follows:

1 3/4" (45mm) fits Number 3 Plane
2" (50mm) fits Numbers 4 & 5 Planes
2 3/8" (60mm) fits Numbers 4 1/2, 5 1/2, 6 & 7 Planes

Clifton 430 Two Piece Cap Iron

Quantity:

Please select required size:

The Clifton Two Piece Cap Iron is an entirely effective way of improving the performance of standard bench planes. The two piece Cap Iron reduces the cutting iron "chatter". In essence the hinged joint and the extra thickness means that the cutting iron is rigidly clamped to the frog and fully supported along with its width, close to the mouth.

Additional features that eliminate irritating characteristics of the one-piece Iron Cap are:
- the snug fit of the accurately machined edge of the lower part of the two-piece Cap Iron prevents shavings being forced between the cutting iron and cap iron, so reducing the choking of the mouth.
- The two-piece cap iron facilitates honing of the cutting iron, as the lower part can be easily removed without having to lose the original cap iron setting. (For this reason, this feature is referred to "Stay Set").

The Two-Piece Cap Iron will fit metal bench planes made by Stanley, Record, Footprint Tools etc.

Size To Fit Plane
1.3/4" - No. 3
2" - No.s 4 & 5
2.3/8" - Nos. 4.1/2, 5.1/2, 6 & 7

Clifton Spokeshaves

Quantity:

Please select type:

Clifton Spokeshaves are made from virtually unbreakable spheridal graphite/malleable iron; the surfaces are finished and polished to give maximum comfort in the hand; the weight and balance permits the Spokeshave to sit firmly on the wood so that only a stroking action is required to make them cut. The firm seating and fine adjustment allow the woodworker to make delicate nuances in the weight of cut.
Available in either a Concave (550) or Convex (500) version. Spare cutters are also available.

The Concave Spokeshave may be used instead of a draw knife to chamfer square timber, but is more often used as a delicate tool by furniture makers to shape on curves e.g. carbriole legs or for blending in cuved surfaces made by machine - such as posts and stair rails.
The Convex Spokeshave is the counterpart to the concave model and is essential for recessed work.
