Quangsheng

The Quangsheng No. 5\u00BD Plane is a popular choice with students and beginners. It is comfortable, well balanced and if set up carefully makes a reasonable compromise if you can't have dedicated try and smoothing planes.\n\nIn many ways it is better to think of the 5\u00BD as a short try plane or panel plane, rather than a broad jack plane. It takes a broad, shallow shaving, so if you work with reasonably straight or pre-machined material it will deal with small corrections on wide surfaces very efficiently.\n\nConversely, if you work with timber that starts off like a propeller blade, the narrower No.5 honed with a steep camber and used across the grain (the traditional function of a jack plane) might be more suitable.\n\n \n\nSpecifications: \n\n--Precision ground, unbreakable CR40 alloy steel casting.\n\n--Engineered lateral adjuster with guide bearing and brass tab.\n\n--Low profile cap iron.\n\n--Brushed finish stainless steel lever cap.\n\n--Cherry wood handles.\n\n--Con.
