The WoodRiver® No. 4-1/2 Bench Hand Plane is a smoothing plane that offers the user more heft, size, and a larger tote than a traditional No. 4. Additional features include soles and sides that are machined flat and square, lightly finished hardwood handles, and minimal tune-up required before use.

V3: Like our previous WoodRiver® Bench Hand Planes, our version 3 is based on the reliable Bedrock design and features heavy, stress-relieved ductile iron castings, fully machined adjustable frogs, and high carbon steel blades, but we took the opportunity between manufacturing runs to do a critical review and make a few improvements. We've changed the shape of the rear tote and increased the diameter of the blade adjustment wheel to make advancing the blade a bit easier. We improved the lateral adjustment lever and added a traditional style bearing for better control of the blade. We've made numerous changes to the castings that result in better "feedback" and a solid feel to the user. Working closely with our manufacturer, we've continued to improve the machining, finish, and functionality yielding hand planes that are meant to be used and offer extraordinary value.
