Smoothing planes are planes with a single iron, meaning they do not have a chip breaker, which in other planes ensures that the chip is broken during removal. By breaking the chip, it prevents the fibers of the wood from being lifted before the plane blade, due to the wood’s fiber structure, which would result in an uneven surface when planing. However, this is not the focus with a smoothing plane.
Its task is to quickly and extensively remove material, to roughly level or „smooth” it. The irons have a width of 48 mm. The plane body is made of red beech.
