Description

Smoothing plane with wide base, excellent for trueing and finishing.

Clifton Bench planes No. 4, No. 4½, No. 5, No. 5½, No. 6, No. 7

If you are looking for a beautifully crafted plane in a classic design, the Clifton models are the right choice. Easily adjustable, snug in the hand and of high sole precision, they are excellent for trueing as well as smoothing surfaces. The cryogenically hardened blade with a hardness of 60-62 HRC and 3 mm thickness ensures the best service life and smooth running. It lies on a »Bedrock« frog that can be adjusted without backlash and, together with the chipbreaker, enables the finest chip removal. The heavy, stress-relieved cast iron bodies give these planes a thrust that will not be slowed down even by knotty surfaces. Generously dimensioned walnut handles, rounded, polished body edges and adjustment screws made of stainless steel or polished brass underline the quality standard of these truly fine tools. Made in the UK.
