I've waited 2 years for this plane - Lie Nielsen #48 Tongue and Groove Plane

A quick run thru of the Lie Nielsen #48 Tongue and Groove plane

Lie Nielsen makes great products. I bought a low angle block plane when I visited their location several years back.

[@DIYwithDennis]

Agree Richard! I was up there years back and was able to take a tour of their production facility, which is available to the public - top notch!

Nice tool. Lie-nielsen makes Nice tools if they are available in my country i will also buy but unfortunately not available.

Just got the email notification from LN about 10 days ago and ordered it immediately. I as well had been waiting for years for one. received in the mail 2 days ago. Absolutely gorgeous plane, and what a performer. Couldn't be happier.

Good to hear! Enjoy!

An awesome plane. I often use a tight T&G to glue boards together. A better way than just butt jointing. I have a shaper and router table. Also used a table saw for this. Truth is, this is a set up dedicated tool. Unless your making millions of the same item, you will be pleased to do this joint on the bench. Minimal fuss and test cuts. The glue joint is self aligning during glue as well. This plane does not disappoint. Mine is an org stanley and it’s ok. I am ordering the LN now that it’s available again. The one I really need is the 049. Same plane but for half inch stock.

What a gorgeous tool! Thanks for sharing. 👍🏼

Thanks Patrick!

I wanted one of those so bad. I have been on the waiting list as well. Using an old Stanley in the meantime. I did get the shooting plane last fall when they had a batch. I'd really like to get a #3 in bronze as well. Sometimes when I use the Stanley tongue and groove plane, I'll use a block plane to chamfer the joined edges to make a v groove where the pieces join as a design element. It looks really nice.

Thanks Ethan! Hopefully there are enough people on the waiting list that they'll. produce another batch. Regarding the shooting plane, when they made a batch early in the pandemic, I hesitated. When another batch was available, there was a price increase - but I ordered it anyway and love using it. Nice idea with the chamfer, I'll have to give that a try. Thanks for the feedback! - Dennis

I waited for almost 1 1/2 years as well. I know the feeling, its a beautiful very used tool in my shop.

[@DIYwithDennis]

Yes, nice to finally have it - thanks for the comment - Dennis

[@zachwithrow4121]

Just got mine yesterday! They sure make nice planes.

[@DIYwithDennis]

they sure do! Lot's of care and fine workmanship

[@douglasanderson7260]

I had a similar experience, and I opened my email the other day to find they were back in stock. Mine gets to me tomorrow.

[@brentjenkinsdesigns]

That's an awesome tool!

[@DIYwithDennis]

Thanks Brent!

Can't help but wonder, in English it's "THE lie Nielsen", but in French??? "LES lie Nielsen"? :D

[@danthechippie4439]

Great tool from a great company. I own several of L/N tools but I can't get my hands on this plane. Can I ask_ obviously you won't be able to plane with the grain all the time given that you need to plane from the same face. Any problem with tear out going against the grain?

[@athmostafa2462]

I love mine 😊😊.

[@ИльичпроснисьОниохренели]

А купить такой реально???? С уважением, коллега и тёзка)))

[@matthiasbecker-ql6pb]

what about end grain ?

[@FearsomeWarrior]

Super rare you’d need a tongue and groove on end grain but it works fine. Easier to cut end grain with a power router. Again, very few situations where you’d need that. Maybe if you were scabbing material together for an unseen cabinet back. Could see it happening if you had something complicated and got stuck having to do it. One in a thousand tongue and groove.
