JORGENSEN No.4 10" Wood Planer, Hand Planer for Woodworking, Hand Plane, Wood Plane, Jack Plane for Trimming, Craft - Professional Smoothing Plane with Ductile Iron Body, Adjustable Cutting Depth

Pros: it works mostly well right out of the box. How? Here’s how:• the iron is sharp enough to pop hairs.• it’s almost perfectly flat heel to toe (flat enough for 99% of people and the other 1% know how to get it perfectly flat which took less than an hour).• all of the adjustments work nice and move smoothly.• the chip breaker sits flush on the iron with no daylight between the two.Other pros:The iron is a good quality steel and the adjustment screws (stainless steel), the body/sole are nicely cast, and the handle/knob are beechwood which will last for a long time with the rest of the plane.It’s pretty affordable. Besides old Stanley’s, I have not found a hand plane under $100 that actually works or can even become functional with fine tuning. Harbor freight, Home Depot, Lowe’s, and Menards were all extremely expensive or cheap trash that will never work no matter how much you try to fix the issues.Lastly the adjustable mouth opening makes this plane extremely versatile. It says smoothing plane which you can use it as such, but you can also open the mouth up and adjust the cut depth for more roughing in work.Cons:It is somewhat heavy for its size. Also for a SMOOTHING plane it won’t work quite right for you out of the box because the irons edge is cut straight corner to corner. For a smoothing plane especially, you want to round the edge so the corners are maybe 1/64th of an inch behind the rest of the edge. That way they don’t cut and you don’t get lines on your surface.

Worked as advertised. Heavy duty, well built

The Jorgensen #4 is a great plane for the price. It appears well built. Had to sharpen the blade but I guess that is to be expected. The blade sharpened as expected. Once tuned in, I am getting the nice shaves that you see the "experts" on YouTube making.

At first I thought, “what a paperweight!”, but after my first stroke, I was hooked! The blade adjusted easily. It took about 10-12 minutes to plane down a 1’ x 7’ edge glued panel. Very sweet planer. Size:I was thinking of a longer jack plane, but this was sized perfectly.

All planes need some adjustment/tuning and this one did too but it did produce shavings out of the box. Best plane under 100 $ that I've seen.

Es la segunda vez que compro este producto, y el producto en si es bueno y claro que vale la pena pagar por el... el problema no es el producto, es el empaque. Este que compre por segunda vez llego con todas las piezas sueltas y por lo mismo, la navaja se vio afectada y llego con el filo abollado, Es un muy buen producto, lastima de empaque.

Worked well

I recently purchased the JORGENSEN No.4 10" Wood Planer. It arrived in good shape, and I was able to dial in the blade using the adjustment screw without any problems. I set it for a relatively deep cut and it worked great, producing smooth shavings all the way across a 3' long board. I then dialed it back to a shallow fine smoothing cut, and again it worked great, producing nice thin shavings across the entire length of the board. This is a great tool and well worth the money.
