Description:

The plane stock has a number of threaded holes into which small threaded rods are fastened. Each rod is sharpend on the opposite end and serve as cutters. The inventor claims this as useful for dressing meat blocks, and when the cutters are adjusted just so, as a nosing plane.

It is interesting to note that the use of the term "blockplane" is used in this patent in the manner sometimes cited as the origin of the term, that is, as a plane for smoothing butcher's blocks.
