This Smoothing Plane is an essential hand tool for woodworking. It has the ability to smooth any difficult wood after it has been milled by hand or machine. It leaves a surface that requires little to no sanding. You can push or pull this handplane, making certain jobs easier, for example planing a table top. You can push the plane half way across the table and then pull it from the other end of the table, getting a full length shaving. It also means your body is more in balance.

• It is 8 1/4” long x 2 5/8” wide x 1 1/2” high.

• Weighs almost 2 lbs.

• Option of an O1 Tool Steel (O1 TS) blade hardened to RC 62-64 OR a High Speed Steel (HSS) blade hardened to RC 62.

• Blade pitch of 60 degrees which will be optimum on hard woods or difficult & reversing grain.

• Blade is reversible to bevel up, effectively creating a blade pitch of 90 degrees, allowing the plane to be used as a scraper. It’s two tools in one!

• We recommend choosing the HSS if you wish to reverse the blade to bevel up and use the plane as a cabinet scraper, as it will hold its edge longer under heat. However, it will take longer to sharpen.

• Handle is removable on a taper.

• The blade is 3 7/8” long x 2” wide x 1/4” thick.

• The plane body is made from Gidgee, a very dense and stable Australian wood.
