Smoothing planes are used for the finest finishing work on the wood surface. Before sandpaper was in common use, surfaces such as veneers were not sanded down, but "smoothed" with the smoothing plane. It was essential to set the iron with extreme precision, and to work with the highest degree of skill.

Smoothing planes are used for the finest finishing work on the wood surface. Before sandpaper was in common use, surfaces such as veneers were not sanded down, but "smoothed" with the smoothing plane. It was essential to set the iron with extreme precision, and to work with the highest degree of skill.
This is an outstanding smoothing plane made. This is a wonderfully performing plane that leaves a fine smooth surface on the wood.
It is advisable to smooth the sole of the plane a little further, by placing 600-grain sandpaper on a dead flat surface and going over it with the plane a few times. This will smooth out any minor variances in the sole due to the manufacturing processes.
