Overview
E.C. Emmerich supplies this jack plane with an iron blade that shaves wood by hand with no power source at all. The body and base are iron, and the blade is the single included component.
A jack plane is a general-purpose hand plane, and the iron construction gives it mass to carry the cut. The weak point is the data: no sole length, no blade angle and no handle details are given, and the width reading contradicts the blade size.
Who it's for
Hand-tool users who already know how to set and sharpen a plane iron are the audience. Newcomers who want clear setup details, or anyone searching for a chisel because of the category label, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Iron body and base
- Manual operation, no power needed
- Adjustable cutting depth figure listed
- Blade supplied with the plane
- Width figure conflicts with blade size
- Brand field names a different maker
- Sole length not listed
Performance notes
A plane cuts according to how sharp the iron is and how far it protrudes from the sole, so setup counts for more than any spec on this page. The weight of the iron body helps the tool glide through a pass. Smoothness depends on the user flattening the sole and honing the blade.
