Description

A phenomenal adjustable flute molding plane by Gleave of Manchester, complete with its sliding fence and boxed construction, a beautifully made and highly functional specialty plane. This example cuts 1/8-inch flutes, and the execution is crisp—exactly what you expect from Gleave, one of the great 19th‑century Manchester makers.

The adjustable fence moves smoothly, the boxing is tight, and the overall form shows the refined proportions typical of Gleave’s better work. Flute planes of this size and precision are scarce, and adjustable fenced versions are especially desirable for both collectors and users who appreciate fine molding tools.

A standout, well‑preserved Gleave flute plane—rare, elegant, and fully capable.
