Measuring 445mm in length, this No 6 fore plane excels at flattening large panels prior to smoothing. The long sole allows the plane to level off any peaks and troughs in the wood rather than following them as a shorter plane would. Recently updated this plane features a newly modified body casting making it incredibly positive in use. Other improvements are in the lateral adjustment lever design and the addition of a bearing to this, a larger diameter knob on the blade adjuster and a slight shape change to the rear handle to improve ergonomics. Made from steel, the plane body is fully stress relieved giving a plane that will remain true and warp free for its entire working life. Precision machined to exacting tolerances the sole and wings are ground to be flat and square. The bedrock style frog and plane body are precision machined to fit together perfectly offering full support to the 3mm blade. This support allows the blade to cut even highly figured hardwoods with minimal tear out. Made from high carbon steel, the blade is tempered and hardened to Rc 60-64 allowing it to be sharpened to and retain a razor like edge. The large stainless steel cap iron and chip breaker support the blade giving chatter free cutting. The solid bubinga handle and front knob are shaped for maximum comfort and control and feature a satin lacquer finish. ©

10 Year Guarantee - The 10 year guarantee on the plane means that it will be free of any manufacturing defects. If a customer finds any manufacturing related defect, either the product or faulty component will be replaced free of charge.

Name: Alberto. Rating: 5/5
When I opened the box I had a pleasant surprise. The plane looks MUCH better than in the pictures of this site! Handles are made of bubinga with a very nice satin finish, not too "heavy". The blade and chipbreaker are amazingly thick, the overall finish is good, maybe not Veritas-like, but sure nicer than in the pictures. The sole needed a little flattening to be perfect while the blade was flat, a bit rough, but it is within the process of sharpening in any case. I honed it at 30° plus a microbevel (optimal for A2 blades like this is), it produces an incredibly smooth surface. The frog sits well on the body and the blade on the frog... excellent machining and the Bedrock is a joy over the normal construction since it allows setting the blade when still mounted and gives a better support for the blade. An excellent piece of tool at a bargaign price, highly recommended.
