No. 4-1/2 Smoothing Hand Plane
The Clifton Bench Plane No. 4-1/2 has a blade width of 2-3/8"; weight is 5.51 lbs.; length is 10-3/4".
The No. 4-1/2 is a smoothing plane featuring a wider, longer body, more weight and a larger tote than the No. 4. The increased size and heft make short work of more difficult smoothing operations, as well as offering the increased comfort of a larger tote for users with bigger hands.
Clifton Bench Planes are made in Sheffield, UK, from the finest materials. The frog and frog seating in the body of these planes are based on the Bedrock design, meaning the seating pad in the body is full face, fully machined to mate with an equivalent full face, with a fully machined underside of the frog. This ensures absolute stability of the frog, providing a firm and solid base for the cutting iron. The Bedrock design is probably the most rigid and effective clamping mechanism of any bench plane available.
- Blade width is 2-3/8"; weight is 5.51 lbs.; length is 10-3/4"
- Body and frog machined from gray cast iron
- Commonly referred to as a Wide Smoothing Plane
