T33283 Premium No. 5 Jack Plane
Smooth and flatten rough-sawn or distorted wood by hand.
Known as the most versatile hand plane, the No. 5 jack plane has been smoothing and prepping flat surfaces for over a hundred years–a true jack-of-all-planes.
Within the Stanley numbering system, Jack planes are medium-length planes. They are longer than smoothing planes, which makes them long enough to level out bumps and light enough to use for extended periods of time.
At 14" long and 2" wide, the No. 5 is used for dimensioning, to true up rough edges and prepare it for fore or jointer planes.
With cast-iron bodies with precision-ground soles and sides, these planes are not only heavy-duty. Their ultra-flat surfaces allow you to plane your workpieces with reliable accuracy.
The jack plane has an adjuster that allows advancement and retraction of the blade. The blade can also adjust side-to-side with another.
The accuracy of this mechanism allows you to adjust the cutting iron to a virtually "zero" mouth opening. This allows for the finest shavings–even on the most difficult of woods.
The blade is made from high carbon steel, hardened and tempered to 60-62 Rockwell C, and precision ground to 3mm thick.
The single-piece design of the cap iron offers rigid clamping.
The T33283 is made from the finest materials:
- Stainless steel frog locating pins and screws
- Shaped, sanded, and sealed hardwood knob and handle
- Polished brass lever cap, screws, and adjusting wheel
The T33283 Premium No. 5 Jack Plane should be the first plane owned by any woodworker looking to achieve a professional hand-finish on their projects.
Whether you need to hog off material for thicknessing, or take a fine shaving for a perfect fit, this all-purpose plane can be your go-to.
Like all Grizzly planes, the T33283 comes with a 1-year warranty which covers parts and assures the unit is free from factory defects.
The Grizzly Customer Service and Technical Support Teams are U.S.-based. Parts for the plane may be available online and shipped from the Grizzly parts warehouse in Springfield, MO.
