Luban No. 4 1/2 Bench Plane

The No 4 1/2 is a smoothing plane with a wider sole and one that experienced woodworkers really enjoy using due to its wider iron blade and its heftier body. Designed to take an astoundingly thin shaving from wood that leaves a nice, smooth surface that is ready for finishing oil.

The plane benefits from a precision ground body with remarkably flat sole and square wings that match and sometime surpass those of hand planes 2 or 3 times its price.
