Description

The Stanley No 3 Smooth Plane is a professional-grade smoothing plane designed for final finishing work in cabinet making and general joinery applications. This compact yet robust tool delivers the precision finish required for fine woodworking tasks. Constructed from accurately machined fine grey iron castings, this smoothing plane offers the weight and stability essential for achieving smooth, flat surfaces. The simple and rapid adjustment mechanism provides fingertip control over depth of cut and cutter alignment, whilst the blade removes easily for sharpening and maintenance. The plane features a durable black epoxy finish with plated parts for corrosion resistance and longevity in workshop environments. The chrome carbon cutter delivers sharp, consistent cutting performance across hardwoods and softwoods alike. With a length of 9.1/2 inches and a 45mm (1.3/4 inch) cutter width, the No.3 size makes it ideal for smoothing smaller work pieces and accessing tighter areas where larger planes cannot reach.
