Hock Tools 2-3/8" Bench Plane Replacement Blade & Chip Breaker For #4-1/2, 5-1/2, 6, 7 (O1)
Enhance your woodworking results with the Hock Chip Breaker, an essential hand plane upgrade. Pair it with a Hock Blade for ultimate performance. The chip breaker (also known as a back-iron or cap-iron) guides wood shavings away from the cutting edge, helping the blade smoothly shear fibers and prevent tear-out. Its robust design also bends and breaks shavings efficiently, protecting your workpiece. Engineered for strength, the Hock Chip Breaker presses firmly against the blade’s thin cutting edge, reducing flex and chatter for cleaner, smoother cuts. Unlike standard chip breakers, which are only .065 to .070" thick, our Hock Chip Breakers feature a substantial .118" (3mm) thickness for superior mass, rigidity, and support at the cutting edge.
