Faithfull FAIPLANE5 No.5 Jack Plane in Wooden Box

Product Information

As the frog extends right through to the sole, adjusting the frog to narrow the mouth does not reduce blade support as it does in standard planes of this style. features a BEDROCK frog providing solid support to the blade, preventing chatter and allowing you to adjust the width of the plane’s mouth without dismantling the plane. Clifton blades have a reputation as quick to hone whilst producing one of the finest sharp edges available. Having since moved on to two additional colleges I’ve always made sure we did business with Tilgear.

The Faithfull Jack planes have a long base and are used for the initial preparation of rough timber. Over the past two and a half years I have been using Tilgear for purchasing the tool kits for the Lee Marley Brickwork apprentices. These castings are fully stress relieved, a process that removes inherent stresses and ensures that the tool will remain flat and true. Most of our product pages have a link to the warranty procedure for that manufacturer and we encourage you to follow the instructions on these pages which will normally direct you to the manufacturers helpline.Our heat treating technique ensures that the blade will take and hold a very fine edge for a long time.

As with all Clifton woodworking tools, the No 4 is an accurate and smoothly functioning tool aimed at the discerning cabinet maker and woodworker. 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. 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.This extra length of sole in front of the blade makes it much easier to cut accurately because the extra long nose makes it easier to maintain the sole flush to the material at the start of a cut. The Frog and Frog Seating in the body of these Bench planes is based on the Bedrock design, first seen on early Stanley planes, meaning the seating pad in the body is fully machined flat to mate with an equivalent full face and machined, underside of the Frog.
