Tote Turner – Comfort and Control for Your Shooting Board Plane

Turn your bench plane into a shooting plane — without spending $700.

Shooting end grain shouldn’t hurt. I got tired of bloody knuckles and awkward grips, wrist pain, so I built what the tool world was missing — the Tote Turner. I made it for myself first, and when other woodworkers tried it, they refused to give it back. That’s when I knew it worked.

“If you ever debated whether or not to invest in a shooting board plane, give the Tote Turner a try. It may be all you really need.”

Why Woodworkers Love It

• The Price: Yup — I made it affordable! I want people in the hobby, not guessing how to do it cheaper.
• Universal Fit: Works with Stanley, Bedrock, Union, and Millers Falls planes using the 2-hole tote pattern (No.5+ and up).
• Better Grip: Optimized shooting angle mimics the legendary Stanley 51 plane feel for control and comfort.
• Stainless Build: CNC-machined and deburred for decades of shop use.
• No Modifications: Installs in minutes using your existing tote hardware — no drilling required, and removes with no trace.
• Left or Right Options: Choose your grip / push hand.
• Complete Kit: Comes with all hardware — just attach and go.

How It Works

The Tote Turner installs between your plane body and tote, instantly changing your grip angle for a true shooting plane feel. It shifts your hand to a natural, neutral position for more control and smoother cuts.

Compatibility

Fits most full-size bench planes using the 2-hole tote pattern:

• Stanley No.5 and larger (4 1/2, 5, 5½, 6, 7, 8)
• Bedrock 605 and larger (604 1/2, 605, 605½, 606, 607, 608)
• Union and Millers Falls equivalents

Not intended for small smoothers like No.3 or No.4. or single hole totes. or modern planes.

Installation

1. Remove your tote and keep your screws handy.
2. Place the Tote Turner adapter on the plane and screw down with hardware.
3. Reinstall your tote at the new angle with your existing hardware.
4. Tighten screws, check alignment, and you’re ready to shoot.
