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.
