Description
Tyzack planes are suitable for home or professional use on the bench or on site. The No.4 smoother is an excellent choice as first plane for those new to woodworking. A No.4 is a useful size and weight for finishing and final smoothing as well as being a good general-purpose plane.
Tyzack planes are fitted with a British made high quality blade. The blade is O1 high carbon steel, 3mm thick and hardened to HRC 61-64. It is capable of holding a very fine edge. It is flat, well finished and comes with a 25° bevel. These quality blades require only minimal preparation before use from new.
O1 tool steel is our choice for the blade as it offers durability, excellent wear resistance and holds a fine edge. This high carbon tool steel is relatively easy to sharpen and hone using conventional methods. A final wipe on a strop produces a very keen edge. A sharp O1 blade is a joy to use.
