Bench Dog No. 7 Bedrock-Style Jointer Plane

Bench Dog's No. 7 Jointer Plane is the longest in the bench plane lineup, to quickly level dips and high spots and produce a straight, square edge prior to edge joining. It also performs the final flattening of surfaces before finishing with a smoothing plane. Quality materials, precision machining and solid construction result in a hand plane that's an absolute pleasure to use. The sole is precision ground flat. The blade is made from thick 1/8'' hardened carbon steel for reduced chatter and excellent edge retention. Solid European beech is used for the comfortable tote and knob, adding a touch of elegance.

This premium version has also been redesigned to include the venerable Bedrock-style interface between the plane's frog and body. The two components are cast and machined to make full contact with each other, which ensures maximum stability behind the cutting iron to reduce blade chatter. The frog also can be conveniently adjusted to widen or narrow the mouth of the plane without removing the iron, for increased control and fine-tuning. The solidity and one-piece effect of the Bedrock enhancement have been revered among woodworkers since 1898 when Stanley released the first Bedrock. Many consider Bedrock planes to be the finest design ever made, and now you can experience it for yourself in a durable, affordable tool you'll enjoy for a lifetime.
