No. 2 Bench Plane in bronze

7½" (19.1cm) long with a 1-5/8" (4.13cm) x .125" (3.17mm) thick blade. Although a small bench plane, the No. 2 is considerably larger than the No. 1 and has good heft in the hand. Body is available in Bronze (weight 3¾ lbs.) or cast Iron (weight 3 lbs.). Now shipping with the New Improved Chipbreaker.

Lie-Nielsen Bench Planes (except for the No. 1) are based on the Stanley Bedrock-type planes. Bedrocks were Stanley’s top line of Bench Planes, heavier and better made than the standard. In addition, the construction of the frog is unique — it features a fully machined fit between frog and body, adjustable from the rear without having to remove the blade and cap. This allows you to easily change the mouth setting from a coarse to fine cut for difficult woods or fine smoothing passes.
