Hoblík Stanley BAILEY Professional uhlíková oceľ 5 cm čepeľ

The Stanley BAILEY Professional Smoothing Plane is a hand plane designed for precision finishing of wooden surfaces. Constructed from carbon steel with polypropylene components and a stainless-steel finish, the plane has an overall length of 250 mm and a 5 cm cutting blade width. Weighing approximately 2 kg, this smoothing plane balances stability and control for fine planing tasks on edges, faces and small panels.

Advantages

The carbon steel blade maintains a sharp cutting edge suitable for repeated resharpening, while the polypropylene body provides a durable and lightweight structure. Its 5 cm blade width allows for controlled, fine shavings and accurate surface flattening. At 250 mm length the tool offers a compromise between maneuverability and straightness of cut, and the overall weight helps reduce chatter during use.

How to use

Set the blade projection to a minimal depth for fine shavings and secure the blade assembly according to the manufacturer’s adjustment mechanism. Hold the plane with one hand on the rear tote and the other guiding the front knob, keeping the sole flat against the workpiece. Push the plane along the grain with steady, even strokes, overlapping passes to achieve a uniform finish. Periodically check blade sharpness and make small adjustments to blade depth to maintain consistent shaving thickness.

Recommendations

For best results, keep the blade sharp and well-tuned, use light passes for final smoothing, and store the plane in a dry environment to prevent corrosion of carbon steel components.
