Product details
There is a view among some enthusiasts that Stanley made this slightly reduced size jack plane specifically for school woodwork classes. It is a bit shorter than the standard No. 5 Jack Plane and is the width of the No. 3 Smoothing Plane. This obviously makes it easier to use than the standard No.5 and it could also be set up for smoothing work.
Unfortunately, this particular plane has suffered damage on both sides of the body (possibly from some unruly schoolboys), but is otherwise a good collectors piece.
This plane was made in the USA and the cutter was made in England. Please see photos for indication of condition.
Note to overseas buyers: Price excludes overseas postage. I am prepared to quote for postage costs, and insurance if required, which will be at cost.
LOCAL SHIPPING: Most convenient to me is PostNet to PostNet. If you want alternative shipping the cost will depend on a quoted price. If buying more than 1 item, the combined parcel size and weight could impact shipping cost. If this results in a cost that exceeds the R100 indicated for small to medium packages then the cost will be adjusted to the actual shipping charge. Also, where a small to medium packages weight pushes the actual cost beyond R100, the rate will be adjusted accordingly.
