This Faithfull No.5 Bench or 'Jack' Plane has a long base and is used for the initial preparation of rough timber. Made with a quality grey cast iron body for strength and stability with precision ground base, and sides for flatness and squareness. The machined seatings eliminate movement and blade judder. A lever cap with a brass locking screw secures the blade assembly and enables easy release for sharpening. Wooden handles and guidance knobs maximise user comfort. A solid brass blade adjustment nut completes the appeal of these traditional tools. Presented in a fine hinged wooden storage case. The blade will require honing before use. Specifications: Blade width: 50mm (2in). Overall length: 355mm (14in).
