Big Horn Jack Plane, #5, 14"

Description

A classic bench plane designed for general-purpose woodworking, including flattening boards, truing edges, removing mill marks, and preparing stock for final smoothing. Its 14" precision-ground sole helps bridge low spots and maintain consistent contact with the workpiece during surface preparation and edge work. The adjustable frog allows the mouth opening to be set for finer shavings or heavier material removal depending on the cut. A solid brass depth-adjustment knob and lateral blade adjustment help set shaving thickness and align the hardened blade. The heavy-duty cast iron body provides a rigid, stable base for controlled planing, while the Sapele front knob and rear handle offer comfortable control during longer passes.
