Topic tags/keywords: planes purpose 1 2 3 6

Obviously, the #7 and #8 jointers are for jointing. Lie Nielsen’s page mentions the #5 as a Jack to take care of the rough, gnarly surface and prepare for the #4 smoother.

That leaves the #1, #2, #3 & #6. What is the proper use for these other bench planes?

Good show ol’ chap!! I should have thought to put in “Stanley.” I got a bunch of junk about airplanes :-(( Not that I have anything against airplanes, they just don’t work well in wood unless you are trying to knock down forests quickly, then it is a one shot deal .

Airplanes. Do those float over the wood like a hovercraft Bob? Probably less tiring to use, LOL.
