The Jack Plane excels at a number of tasks, from heavier stock removal to final smoothing. Can even be used as a jointer depending on the scale of work. If you don't have a mechanical jointer to mill your boards, a Jack Plane can act as a scrub plane, taking a rough sawn board to the point where it can be dressed with a Trying (Jointer) Plane to achieve a very flat surface.

• It is 11 7/8” long x 2 5/8” wide x 1.5” high.

• Weighs close to 3 lbs.

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

• It has a blade pitch of 55 degrees for planing hard and difficult timbers.

• Blade is reversible to bevel up, effectively creating a blade pitch of 85 degrees, allowing the plane to be used as a scraper. It’s two tools in one!

• The HSS is ideal if you plan to reverse the plane to bevel up and use it as a scraper on hard timber as it will retain the edge better under heat. However, it will take longer to sharpen.

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

• Made from Gidgee, a very dense and stable Australian wood.

The plane comes with the blade sharp & ready to use, however it is sharpened as a smoothing plane blade in case you wish to use it in this manner. If you would like to use it as a scrub plane to remove material quickly, then we recommend putting a camber on your blade.

This plane has no brass insert in the mouth as it is not required for the task it performs.
