Stanley 50 mm 1-12-136 (1-12-136 / 3253561121364)

Own a little piece of history, with a modern classic from STANLEY(R). STANLEY's Sweetheart(TM) range, first launched in the 1920's and named to honour long-time company president, William Hart (1884-1915), quickly became synonymous with some of the most sought after and cherished woodworking tools on the market. Today's modernised Sweetheart(TM) series, updated to meet the latest needs of modern-day craftspeople, boasts a range of premium woodworking tools based on their original 1920s designs, including the iconic "No. 4" Smoothing Bench Plane itself. If you're a woodworker, finding a Sweetheart(TM) tool is like finding a treasure, and many still consider Sweetheart(TM) to be the best of the best.

Featuring an extra-thick 1/8" (3.18mm) A2 steel plane iron for excellent edge retention. Thick 3mm blade and one-piece base and frog for reduced chatter and increased accuracy. Ductile plane iron base for added weight and durability. Adjustable mouth controls the thickness of shavings. Thicker shavings for heavy cuts, or thinner shavings for finer cuts.

"Norris-style" adjuster, with lateral locking feature, adjusts both the planing depth and its lateral angle for a perfectly level cut without slant. Easy-to-use solid, brass adjustments for smooth adjustments. Made from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified cherry wood, the handle and knob are shaped to fit the hand naturally and comfortably, providing comfort in extended or repetitive use. Suitable for removing very fine shavings from a variety of wood types to leave a smooth finish, when used effectively, the "No. 4" Sweetheart(TM) Smoothing Bench Plane can produce a finish that equals or surpasses that made by conventional sandpaper.

A great choice for woodworking projects of all types and sizes.
