[Figs. 2735] to [2744] represent a combination plane. [Fig. 2735] is a side, and [Fig. 2736] a top view of the tool as a whole.
Pieces a and b form the body of the plane, between which the bits or all the tools are carried except the slitting knife, which is carried by a alone.

In the figures t is a beading tool shown in position, having a bearing or seat in both a and b so as to support it on both sides, and being locked in position by the thumb-screw c. At g is a depth gauge which is moved over into the hole at d, when that position is most suitable for the kind of work in hand. Piece b is made adjustable in its distance from a so as to accommodate different widths of bits by sliding it on the arms m, securing it in its adjusted position by the set-screws s. Similarly the fence f slides on arms m, and is secured in its adjusted position by the set-screws h, thus enabling it to regulate the distance from the edge of the board at which the bits shall operate, and also guiding the bits true to the edge of the board or work. f is provided with an upper pair q, and a lower pair r of holes (as seen in [Fig. 2737]) so that it may be set on the arms m at two different heights as may best suit the nature of the work. In [Fig. 2736] it is shown with arms m passing through the lower pair of holes. The points of the set-screws h meet the bores of both pairs of holes and therefore lock f to the arms, whether the upper or lower holes are upon the arms. For rabbeting and fillister work the upper holes q are used, while using ploughs the lower ones are brought into requisition.
