{"product_id":"woodriver-4-bench-hand-plane-smoothing-plane-v3","title":"#4 Bench Hand Plane - Smoothing Plane - V3","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eThe WoodRiver® No. 4 Bench Hand Plane is well suited for smoothing smaller surfaces or maneuvering around troublesome grain. Slightly longer than a block plane, the tote makes it more comfortable for extended use. No. 4, a smoothing plane, takes the thinnest shavings for an exceptional finish. Used skillfully, it can be the final step before finishing. It also makes an excellent general-purpose plane or first plane for your collection. \u003cbr\u003eV3: Like our previous WoodRiver® Bench Hand Planes, our version 3 is based on the reliable Bedrock design and feature heavy, stress-relieved ductile iron castings, fully machined adjustable frogs and high carbon steel blades but we took the opportunity between manufacturing runs to do a critical review and make a few improvements. We’ve changed the shape of the rear tote and increased the diameter of the blade adjustment wheel to make advancing the blade a bit easier. We improved the lateral adjustment lever and added a traditional style bearing for better control of the blade. We’ve made numerous changes to the castings that result in better “feedback” and a solid feel to the user. Working closely with our own manufacturer, we’ve continued to make improvements in machining, finish and functionality which we feel have yielded hand planes that are meant to be used and offer an extraordinary value.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModeled after the Bedrocks, Stanley Tool's very best line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy castings (5 lbs.) and fully machined frogs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightly finished hardwood handles provide comfort and control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoles and sides are machined flat and square within tightly held tolerances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommonly known as a smoothing plane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTools require minimal tune-up prior to use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlane Dimensions (W x L): 2-7\/16\" x 9-7\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Width: 2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 5 lbs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Material: Stress-relieved ductile iron castings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Material: High carbon steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e(1) WoodRiver - No. 4 Bench Hand Plane - Smoothing Plane - Version 3\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGet A FREE 3-Month Subscription to Rob Cosman's All-in-One Workshop!
