As the smallest in the Bedrock-style lineup, this plane is ideal for fine detail work, smoothing small surfaces, edges, and intricate areas where larger planes would be cumbersome. Whether refining dovetails, tenons, or working on small crafts, musical instruments, or furniture joinery, this compact plane offers unmatched control and precision.
Constructed from ductile cast iron, the body and frog provide maximum stability, while the precision-lapped sole and sides ensure flat, accurate performance. Measuring 7-1/2" long, 2" wide, and weighing 3.125 lbs, this plane is lightweight yet robust, striking the perfect balance for delicate tasks. The cryogenically treated O1 steel iron, 0.120" thick and 2" wide, is hardened to 54-58 HRc, offering superior edge retention, easy sharpening, and ultra-fine shaving capability.
Designed with a fully machined frog seating system based on the original Bedrock planes, this smoothing plane minimizes chatter and maximizes stability. The innovative frog adjustment system allows precise mouth opening adjustments without removing the iron, ensuring optimal performance on a variety of woods, from softwoods to dense, figured grain. The hand-rubbed Sapele wood knob and tote provide a comfortable grip and timeless aesthetic.
Whether you're a professional woodworker or a hobbyist, the BR Series #2 Smoothing Plane is an essential tool for precision finishing, offering exceptional control, durability, and ease of use for detailed woodworking projects.
