Manufacturer: Edward Preston
Tool Type: Chamfer Shave
Model No: 89
The Edward Preston chamfer spokeshave number 89 is a simple 10 1/2 inch
long chamfer shave.
The 89 has a round face with two adjustable fences positioned under
the shave. The fences are quickly adjusted by releasing and securing
the thumb screws on top of the shave arms.
The fences allow any through or stopped chamfer to be produced and repeated
evenly and uniformly.
The 38mm (1 1/2 inch) wide blade on the 89 spokeshaves has to be manually
placed in position by hand.
Once in place, the cutter is secured by locking the lever cap on to
the blade. The lever cap is locked / released by turning the lever cap
screw.
The spokeshave body and lever cap are finished with a green japanning finish.
This finish was used on tools made at the very end of the Edward Preston reign
(most probably very late 1920's / early 1930's).
The handles on the 89 are advertised a 'straight handle'.
The handles have meshed grip pads towards the end of the handles to offer the user
extra grip and control.
Each handle has a convenient circular hole cut in the end to allow the tool to hung
from a hook in the workshop.
The Edward Preston 89 chamfer shave was the predecessor of the
red Record A65 chamfer shave.

"Just stumbled across your website and an absolute treasure trove of information.
I was recently given an old Stanley 110 block plane and wanted to know more about it.
Your website told me everything I needed to know.
But there is so much more to read. I forsee me spending a lot of time just reading
