Description

A plain wooden router, the iron is marked Marples, Sheffield, UK , and looks to be the original. So although there are no manufacturers marks on the wooden body, it is probably Marples.

Use

The iron was set to the desired depth of a recess or groove, and then used to scrape the bottom level after the bulk of waste had been chiselled out.
