The Melbourne Tool Company Low Angle Smoothing Plane is a bevel-up smoothing plane with a 12 degree bed, designed in Melbourne, Australia, for the final surfacing of a board.

The 51 mm (2 in) M2 high speed steel blade is 3.2 mm thick and comes ground at 25 degrees for a 37 degree cutting angle. Optional 38 and 50 degree blades raise the cutting angle for general smoothing and for figured wood. To set the mouth, twist the front knob to release the toe and move the mouth lever. A knurled knob sets depth and a sliding wheel skews the blade. The handles are maple. The sole is 63 x 244 mm (about 2-1/2 x 9-5/8 in), and the plane weighs 1.5 kg (3.3 lb).

Melbourne Tool Company arrived in April 2022 through Timbecon, the Australian woodworking retailer, after almost three years of development with Melbourne industrial designers and woodworkers. The tools are designed in Melbourne and made in China.
