The Faithfull No.6 Fore Plane is a high-quality traditional bench plane built for strength, control and precision in woodworking and carpentry. Designed specifically for stock removal, truing long edges and levelling wide boards, this cast iron hand tool is suitable for both hard and soft woods and is ideal for preparing timber surfaces before finishing. Built with a robust grey cast iron body, this No.6 fore plane offers superior stability and cutting performance over longer material lengths. Its precision-machined base and sides ensure flatness and squareness, critical for straightening edges and smoothing broad surfaces with accuracy. The finely tuned blade seating eliminates movement and blade judder, delivering consistent results when working across uneven or rough timber. A solid brass locking screw keeps the blade assembly securely in place and allows for easy removal when sharpening is needed. (Note: blade must be sharpened before initial use.) The extra-long sole and wide cutter make this plane ideal for removing high spots, jointing edges and flattening large panels before progressing to finer finishing tools. Equipped with a solid brass blade adjustment nut, the cutting depth can be precisely set for aggressive stock removal or more refined truing passes. Shaped wooden handles and guidance knobs provide comfort and control during extended use, helping to maintain accuracy over larger surface areas with less fatigue. The Faithfull No.6 Fore Plane is a durable, reliable and essential addition to any woodworking toolkit, perfect for board levelling, edge jointing, panel flattening, and early-stage timber preparation. A combination of classic design and modern machining, delivering clean, consistent results every time. Cutter Width: 60mm. Overall Length: 460mm
