Create A New AccountThe No. 4 Smoothing Plane is designed for flattening and final finishing, taking the finest of shavings for an exceptional surface finish. With the shortest sole in the Verum bench plane range, the Smoother references parts of your workpiece that larger planes miss, allowing the removal of damaged or torn grain without causing low spots. Whether it is trimming drawer sides for that perfect fit or smoothing some troublesome grain, the No. 4 is the plane of choice for a flawless finish.
Wood Workers Workshop’s owner, Peter Sefton, worked with our manufacturer to improve and perfect a new generation of bench planes, which we are proud to include under our Verum brand.
Bespoke Handle
We have designed and crafted the rear handle to create a comfortable, enduring, ergonomic shape; reducing blisters, cramping and fatigue with a grip developed to transfer power to the cutting edge.
Enhanced Blade Adjustment
Increasing the diameter of the blade adjuster wheel has made fine-tuning easier, there’s no need to move the hand when making that slight one-fingered depth tweak.
Precise Lateral Blade Control
Lateral adjustment lever with a tight tolerance bearing for precise movement of the blade. Engineered brass tab end lever, rather than a pressed and bent steel. Adding that high quality finish to our range of planes.
Superior Bedrock Frog
The tried and tested Bedrock Frog provides greater plane blade support and it is super easy to close the mouth without removing the blade, ensuring perfect quick setup and no cutter edge damage. The tight tolerance-matched component machining provides a full contact area between the frog and body, eliminating blade chatter for a cleaner finish.
Low Profile Cap Iron
The low-profile, 3mm thick cap iron (or chip breaker) dampens vibration and supports the cutting edge, curling shavings away from the blade and leaving a perfect surface finish.
Water Hardened Blade
Excellent edge retention and easy sharpening from this 3mm thick water-cooled and hardened T10 carbon steel blade.
