6 Pc Set Premium Bedrock Style Flattop Jointer Plane Bench Planes #2 to #7

The "BR" Series Hand Planes are modeled after the legendary Stanley Bedrock planes, produced from 1898 to 1945. Renowned as the "top of the line" in Stanley’s lineup, Bedrock planes remain highly sought after by woodworkers and collectors. These planes are distinguished by their robust construction, increased weight, enhanced rigidity, and signature flat-top side design. Another key feature is the innovative frog adjustment mechanism, which allows precise mouth adjustments without removing the iron. 

This set contains all the Flattop Bedrock Series Planes: #2, #3, #4, #5, #6 & #7. 

The bodies and frogs are made from ductile cast iron, and the soles and sides are precision-lapped flat across the entire length of the plane. 

The knobs and totes are crafted from Sapele wood, then finished and hand-rubbed to provide a surface that feels as good as it looks. The 0.120"-thick, 2-3/8" wide tool steel irons are hardened and tempered to 55-60 HRc, offering easy sharpening and superior edge retention. 

The frogs and its seatings are designed based on the early Stanley Bedrock planes. This approach provides fully machined, full-surface contact between the frog and the body, ensuring maximum stability for the cutting iron. Paired with robust 1/8" thick irons and cap irons, this setup significantly minimizes chatter and tearout, resulting in one of the most rigid and efficient frog clamping systems available on any bench plane. 

This design also allows the cutting iron to advance for an almost "zero-clearance" mouth opening, enabling the creation of exceptionally fine shavings, even on dense or challenging woods. Furthermore, the mouth openings can be adjusted without disassembling the frog and iron assembly. To adjust, simply loosen the two outer screws at the back of the frog seating pad, then turn the central screw clockwise to reduce the mouth size or counterclockwise to enlarge it.
