The Record SP5 Jack Plane is a No.5 bench plane designed for the initial preparation and flattening of rough timber in both hardwoods and softwoods. Manufactured by IRWIN Record to professional standards, this economy model features a plastic handle design that offers excellent value without compromising on essential functionality. Equipped with a 50mm (2in) tungsten vanadium cutter blade, this jack plane delivers reliable cutting performance across a range of timber types. The 355mm (14in) long base is specifically designed to bridge undulations and irregularities in rough-sawn timber that shorter planes would simply follow, making it ideal for initial stock preparation before using smoothing planes. The plane features screw adjustment for precise depth of cut control and a lever mechanism for lateral blade adjustment, allowing accurate setup for consistent results. This economy version offers the same core functionality as the wooden-handled REC05 model but at a more accessible price
