Faithfull FAIPLANE5 No.5 Jack Plane in Wooden Box

Product Information

Made with a quality grey cast iron body for strength and stability with precision ground base and sides for flatness and squareness. Compared to my Stanley no5, probably from the 1980's, it's the one with the plastic handles, I got it secondhand, the Faithfull outshines it at every turn, whereas the Stanley's sole was convex, (that's probably why it was so cheap) the Faithfull was almost flat and needed very little flattening and yes, you can use it straight out of the box even though honing is recommended.

The plane features a lateral adjustment lever that is used to ensure the blade sits square to the mouth opening. The 5-1/4W is made from ductile cast iron and has an adjustable frog with a combined feed and lateral adjust mechanism that is sturdy, yet sensitive and accurate.When used with the extra thick Clifton Cutting Iron and Clifton Two Piece Cap Iron, this design has probably the most rigid and effective clamping mechanism of any Bench plane available. Manufactured to British Standards, Rutlands® hand planes are recommended by discerning cabinetmakers and carpentry instructors for their superb construction, finish and performance.

The sheer mass of the plane, combined with the large side wings, makes it both more stable and more effective than its predecessors. For general work, set the end of the chipbreaker about 1/16" from the cutting edge of the blade; for the finest smoothing work, set it closer to the edge. The Frog and Frog Seating in the body of these Bench planes is based on the Bedrock design, first seen on early Stanley planes, meaning the seating pad in the body is fully machined flat to mate with an equivalent full face and machined, underside of the Frog. The accuracy of this mechanism allows for the cutting iron to be advanced to give a virtually “zero” mouth opening, so allowing the finest shavings to be taken even on the most difficult of timbers.The plane is fitted with a T10 high carbon steel tool blade which can take a keen edge, and that has been hardened to RC60-64 for maximum edge retention. If you do not contact us within 14 days of purchase, we will direct you to the manufacturers guidelines. The plane itself requires no flattening or fettling in prior to use, although the most users prefer to hone the blade themselves to their preferred cutting angle. It makes short work of preparing sawn timber and the wider 60mm blade covers more ground when flattening boards. Unbreakable plastic handles and special cap iron design which curves shavings and prevents clogging.
