Axminster No. 4 Smoothing Plane

This exceptionally well priced smoothing plane could be a perfect introduction to those making their first venture into the world of woodworking. It is well made and has features such as adjustable frog and lateral blade adjustment that are usually found in more expensive versions. Purists will welcome the traditional hardwood handles. The base measures 240 x 63mm and the blade is 50mm(2") wide.
The Plane Safe protective cover is a plastic shoe moulded to fit the base of the No.4 smoothing plane, and is held in place with two strong rare earth magnets. A small ridge running along each side of the base keeps the plane bottom from getting scratched and, most importantly, keeps the plane's blade well clear of any potential damage.
