Jorgensen No.4 10-inch Wood Plane – Professional Hand Plane for Woodworking

Overview of a reliable smoothing tool

The Jorgensen No.4 10-inch wood plane is designed for woodworkers who value smooth surfaces and dependable performance. Its ductile iron body delivers stability during heavy use, while the professional blade is optimized for clean, efficient planing. The O1 tool steel blade is finely sharpened and can be repeatedly sharpened and adjusted, extending its service life and maintaining consistent shavings over time.

Durability and thoughtful design come together in the core construction. A lightweight aluminum lever cap mates with a sturdy iron body to balance strength and handling.
