What is this plane?

Jump to 6:00 and there is a miniature version of a Stanley 10 1/2.  Does anybody have a number for this plane and manufacturer?

Thanks.

It's a Lie-Nielsen rabbet block plane.  There is no Stanley equivalent.  The LN plane is based on the Sargent No. 507.

A neat design. It will trim flush to sidewalls. Perfect for this demonstrated use. There is built weakness in the arched sidewalls so they require care in use and storage.

And, for someone thinking, "This is the solution!", Lee Valley takes a different approach that I think is a physically stronger design, at the cost of not planing both sides from the same plane:http://www.leevalley.com/us/wood/page.as...41192&ap=1

Traditionally, you'd trim tenons (and half-lap joints) with a shoulder plane. The wider, rabbet plane does offer some advantages for surfaces that are wider than a shoulder plane. A skew plane would work just as well. No need to have a left or right-handed skew plane for tenons or lap joints, given you're planing cross grain or end grain. As Bill points out, the left or right handed versions of skew planes are useful for long grain work.

So the only thing that keeps that plane from breaking is the thickness of the metal of the arch's.  It does not look to strong to me.

Plenty strong, Arlin.  It's not just the thickness, but the width of those arches.  Probably ductile iron, and stress-relieved (whether by heat treatment or aging) at that.  I doubt many of us in the forum could bend it using only our own two hands.  The Stanley 10-1/2 or its LN equivalent have wider arches, but it also has a larger blade.  Used properly, the entire sole is in contact with the wood, so it would be very hard to impart bending stresses large enough to cause the body to deform.  Especially as a trimming plane, where you're taking off thin shavings.

The Stanley planes are gray, or at least not ductile, iron.  It's very common for those arched sides to break.  That's probably why my 10-1/2 cost me $6, years back: one side was cracked through. Fortunately, I had an uncle who could weld it.
