The Potter Plane Rest represents a significant jump in comfort and usability for luthiers who are accustomed to working with the iconic IBEX brand planes. Whether you are a guitar maker or a violin maker, the IBEX planes have been a staple tool for graduating, carving, tuning fan bracing or bass bars, these familiar little planes have been a part of every instrument-maker’s life since the 1970’s.
The one issue most luthiers have routinely experienced is that holding onto them can be a PAIN both literally and figuratively. Finally, there is a solution; a comfortable ready to install upgrade that will save your hands and save you time.
The Potter Plane Rest currently comes in multiple palm sizes for select IBEX planes: Short, Medium and Long. Currently we have select sizes available and more options will be ready soon. Available for T180/T182 (12mm plane), T190/T192 (18mm plane), and T210/T220 (27.5mm plane.) Short is ideal for smaller hands, Medium is ideal for the average hand size, and Long is ideal for most average to larger hand sizes. Specify your size and length from the drop-down box.
