The Luban Number 5-1/2 Jack Plane Offers More Bang for Your Buck

You could think of it as two planes in one - a short try plane and a panel plane. The Luban #5-1/2 will take broad, shallow shavings and will tidy up already straight pre-machined timber nicely. The extra weight also makes it an excellent choice for truing up those wider boards.

A popular choice for students and beginner woodworkers. It's well balanced and if you get it set up correctly, makes a great compromise if you can’t quite stretch to a dedicated try and smoothing plane.

Features

  • Precision ground, unbreakable CR40 alloy steel casting.
  • Engineered tab style adjuster.
  • Low profile cap iron.
  • Brushed finish stainless steel lever cap.
  • Hardwood handles.
  • Cutting iron: 3mm (1/8in) thick 60.3mm (2-3/8in)
  • Sole Dimensions: 380mm x 73mm.

Stanley design. Luban quality and reliability.

The design of these high-performance bench planes are based on the famous Stanley Bedrock series (regarded as one of the very best designs of all time) with a fully machined frog and body seating pad. The Bedrock design ensures the blade is held with absolute rigidity thereby preventing chatter. The sole of the planes are heavy, stress-relieved ductile iron castings that are machined and lapped smooth to tight tolerances so little tuning needs to be done to get them working immediately.

Nice plane, took a lot of work to get rid of a nasty imperfection on the corner of the iron, but now that’s done it’s great. Only criticism is that the lever cap moves around a bit more than my Stanley when retracting the blade, not really a big problem.

Knocked the socks off the Luban Low Angle on Stri

I am so glad I bought this plane before my Stringybark project ! I tried it and the Luban low angle Jack: it won! Horrible tearout with low angle on this wood: none on the Luban bevel down Jack! I may buy the Luban Foreplane. These are nice effective tools! But is the Iow angle Luban Jack the only plane I'll ever need. I (and the Stringybark say " no"!
