Faithfull FAIPLANE5 No.5 Jack Plane in Wooden Box

Product Information

Some manufacturers will offer a direct repair or replacement service (as applicable) which will often resolve your problem more quickly. The frog can also be adjusted to widen or narrow the mouth of the plane without the need to remove the irons. As a DT Technician in the Technology Department at Millais School, my role here involves ensuring our department is well-equipped and functioning smoothly, which naturally leads me to rely on quality suppliers and efficient service. So, to adjust the mouth width, the Frog should be moved backwards or forwards by loosening the outside two of the three screws located at the back of the Frog seating pad (underneath the adjusting wheel), then turning the central screw either clockwise to close the mouth or anti-clockwise to open. It is made from ductile cast iron and has the same adjustable frog with a combined feed and lateral adjust mechanism that is sturdy, yet sensitive and accurate.

Clifton Bench Planes are crafted from the finest materials and hand finished in Sheffield - the body and frog are made from accurately machined grey cast iron with their sides and sole fully ground. If you do not contact us within 14 days of purchase, we will direct you to the manufacturers guidelines. Using world leading manufacturing techniques, each precision ground plane represents a serious alternative to the premium brands produced in North America. The accuracy of this mechanism allows for the cutting iron to be advanced to give a virtually “zero” mouth opening, so allowing the finest shavings to be taken even on the most difficult of timbers.

In fact, the combination of the mouth location and the very sensitive feed adjustment lets this plane serve as a jointer for most cabinet work. Quangsheng bedrock pattern handplanes, unlike the more common Bailey pattern, have a full contact area between the body and the frog, hence the name 'bedrock'. An amazing experience so far 10/10 for service I must admit" - D Shah, Designed with Elegance UK "I have used Tilgear to supply us with goods since 2014 when I started as a Construction Technician.

The front knob and handle are made from solid bubinga wood which provides a firm and comfortable grip. The raised lip under the bevel of the chip-breaker is back beveled 1° to ensure that the leading edge contacts the blade firmly. Furthermore, the higher weight will help to compensate the higher force needed due to the wider blade. Our extensive range has over 28,000 products, which are constantly tried and tested by our in-house experts, teachers, and artists.

The Lever Cap is made from grey polished Cast Iron with the Screws and Adjusting Wheel from polished brass. The plane itself requires no flattening or fettling in prior to use, although the most users prefer to hone the blade themselves to their preferred cutting angle. For general work, set the end of the chipbreaker about 1/16" from the cutting edge of the blade; for the finest smoothing work, set it closer to the edge.
