37 Lie Nielsen 5 1 2 Jack Plane Review Dwaynemilar

37 Lie Nielsen 5 1 2 Jack Plane Review Dway Ln bills it as the heaviest of their jack planes and they ain't lying. this thing is very stout. personally i find the 5 1 2 jack to be the perfect plane immediately able to do any task. i used to square up a piece of maple and it made short work of it. i also used it to shoot the end grain and again it performed very well. Model no: 5 1 2. this lie nielsen plane review is about the lie nielsen 5 1 2 from the lie nielsen bench plane range. the 5 1 2 is a 377mm (14 3 4 inch) long plane which is supplied ready to use straight from the box (minor adjustments may be need to suit individual users). the lie nielsen number 5 1 2 plane has a stress relieved ductile iron.

If you can afford it, the #5 1 2 jack will be of more use than the #62. the #5 1 2 can be used as a jointer for smaller pieces easier than the #62. the fit and finish and feel in the hand and on the stock with a lie nielsen simply has to be experienced. if you want to stay with english styled planes lie nielsen. By far we sell the #5 in larger numbers than the #5 1 2. if you need the wider iron width the 5 1 2 provides, that would be the major reason to consider it. it will be a bit more efficient per cutting stroke when working larger areas. due to covid 19, the manufacturing capacity of lie nielsen has been reduced significantly at this time. My advise is if you want a plane as a user, avoid the vintage in this model. that was my main reason for purchasing a lie nielsen #62. "a pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." the vintage stanley #62 is likely more expensive than the new version.
