Luban LBP-050  #5 Jack Plane

QUANTITY:

The design of these high-performance bench planes are based on the famous Stanley Bedrock series (regarded as one of the very best designs of all time) with a fully machined frog and body seating pad. The Bedrock design ensures the blade is held with absolute rigidity thereby preventing chatter. The sole of the planes are heavy, stress-relieved ductile iron castings that are machined and lapped smooth to tight tolerances so little tuning needs to be done to get them working immediately.

Features you can expect to enjoy when buying a Luban plane are –

  • 3.2mm-thick high-carbon tool steel blade
  • 3.2mm cap-iron mated to the blade for improved rigidity and reduced chatter
  • Precision cast and machined stainless steel cap
  • Large solid brass blade adjustment hand wheel and screw
  • Smooth bubinga front and rear knobs
  • Heavy-duty steel lateral-adjustment lever

Jack (#5) planes get their name from being the “jack of all trades” plane. A fair bit longer (352mm vs. 251mm) than the #4 smoothing plane but still with the same 51mm-wide blade. Its blade can be honed square for jointing (straightening) work on smaller work pieces or sharpened with a camber for smoothing and flattening stock. The sole of this version measures 352 x 62mm.
