Infinity Tools Wood Jack Hand Plane
The All-Around Shop Workhorse for Planing!
Use the jack plane to get stock to final dimensions before finishing with a smoothing plane. The jack plane is designed according to the specifications and requirements of leading joinery masters. Made of European beech hardwood with a long-wearing hornbeam sole, these planes are ready for a lifetime of use.
In the production process, special attention is given to the blade seat and mortise of the body. The plane mortise is designed to prevent the clogging of the plane mouth with wood shavings whereas the mouth is narrow enough so as to prevent the chipping of the flattened surface. The design of both the Jack Plane and the Smoothing Plane is the same, the difference lies in the seating of the blade angle. For the Jack Plane the angle is 45°, whereas the blade angle of the Smoothing Plane is seated at a steeper 49°.
The Smoothing Plane is equipped with a steel alloy 48mm-wide (1.9") blade with a chipbreaker.
Our premium wood body bench planes now feature a Norris style adjustment mechanism that makes them very easy to use. This traditional adjustment mechanism allows the depth of cut to be adjusted by turning the brass knob. Pressing the knob right or left will adjust the skew of the iron in the plane body. The Wedge also features a brass tensioning screw with thumb knob that makes securing the iron a snap and improves tension near the end of the wedge where it matters most.
Blade may require initial flattening of the back and honing before use.
220 x 65 x 130mm (8.7" x 3.6" x 5.1"). Made for us by a European company that has been making hand tools for over 100 years.
The blade is made of steel alloy CrV hardened and tempered to 58HRC. The blade is coated with oil and delivered in shrink wrap. The durability of the blade and sharpeness is significantly extended.
