Due to its versatility, the #4 smooth plane is the most commonly used bench plane. It is the ideal size for general smoothing, finish work, trimming parts and other odd jobs. It has enough mass to cut smoothly but is light enough to use without fatigue.

Like all Veritas bench planes, the #4 smooth plane has a frog that extends all the way to the sole. This unique design provides complete blade support, reducing chatter and allows quick mouth adjustment. It can be closed to a narrow slit for fine shavings and minimum tear-out, or opened for heavier cuts, all without removing the lever cap or other parts; just loosen two screws and set the opening with the thumb wheel.
The body is fully stress-relieved ductile cast iron. The surface-ground 9-1/2" x 2-1/2" sole is flat and square to the sides, with extra-large side wings for stable shooting. The hardwood front knob and rear tote provide excellent control and comfort. A combined feed and lateral adjustment mechanism make blade setting easy and accurate. The 2" wide lapped blade is a full 1/8" thick, made in your choice of A2, O1 or PM-V11® tool steel.
Supplied with a lapped O1 tool steel blade.

There are several good ways to sharpen chisels and plane irons: water stones, diamond stones, oil stones and sharpening machines such as Tormek. All give sharp edges, but they differ in speed, maintenance and price.
A honing guide makes it easier to keep the same angle every time. The most important thing is to find a method you enjoy and use often. The guide helps you choose.
Planes of cast iron and steel rust easily, especially in unheated workshops and from moisture on your hands. Wipe the plane after use and protect bare surfaces with a thin layer of wax or oil that will not mark the wood.
Store your planes dry, ideally in a plane sock or box. If rust has already formed, the guide shows how to clean and protect them.
A new replacement iron can make an old plane better than it was when new. To find the right one, measure the iron's width, thickness and slot dimensions, and check whether the plane has a cap iron and what kind of adjuster it has.
A thicker iron chatters less but may require the mouth to be adjusted. The guide shows how to measure and choose correctly. You can also send us a photo of the iron with a rule beside it, and we will help you. We do not sell adjusting screws or other spare parts for old Stanley planes.
