| ECE is known primarily for their fabulous
Primus planes. ECE Primus Improved
Smoothing Plane will plane any wildly figured hardwood
without tearout. The lignum vitae sole is self lubricating
and makes pushing the plane effortless, far easier than any
metal plane. If you want to make gossamer thin shavings, this
is the right plane. This plane far surpasses any of the Stanley
type planes. It is even affordable, and the combination of
all these virtues makes it the ultimate smoothing plane. |

ECE Saws
The most interesting saws that ECE makes are their bow
saws. This type of saw is very popular in continental Europe
and for a good reason. This is a universal saw that excels
in larger joinery - e.g. large tenon and mortise joints. It
will outpace panel saw (e.g. Disston D8) when ripping because
the blade is thinner. It does a very good job when resawing.
Some people get carried away and even use it for dovetails!
ECE Bow saw comes in two sizes and there are five different
saw blades to choose from. If you take a good look, you'll
also find a handy stair saw.

ECE Chisels
and Gouges
Chisels and gouges are indispensable woodworking tools in any
shop, and ECE provides a few good quality types. Besides mundane
tasks reserved for firmer
chisels, here are some heavy
duty mortise chisels for those that like whacking the wood
out of the mortise. They even have leather discs to cushion
blows. There are also heavy
duty firmer chisels sporting the same leather discs and
some beautiful gouges.

Tools
One of the basic tasks in woodworking is squaring a piece of
wood, and here is where one needs a try
square. This one is made of rosewood and brass and comes
in two variants. The next indispensable woodworking tool is marking
gauge. Its pin will neatly score the wood and the resulting
line can be used as a reference for a chisel or when sawing.
When doing any kind of work with irregular angles, one needs
a sliding bevel.
