A bench plane is a woodworking hand tool designed for flattening, smoothing, and shaping wood surfaces. It typically consists of a flat, elongated body with a sharp blade or iron positioned at a low angle, allowing it to remove thin layers of wood when pushed along the surface of a workpiece. Bench planes are essential for achieving a smooth finish on wood, leveling surfaces, and preparing wood for further refinement or joining. They come in various sizes, each serving a specific purpose in woodworking, such as smoothing planes, jack planes, and jointer planes.

Description
Bench Plane Uses
- Smoothing Surfaces:
- Bench planes are commonly used for smoothing and finishing wood surfaces. They help remove small irregularities, tear-out, and tool marks, leaving a polished and even surface.
- Flattening Wood:
- When working with rough or uneven lumber, a bench plane is employed to flatten and level the surface. This is particularly important for creating flat and uniform boards for woodworking projects.
- Jointing Edges:
- Bench planes are used to square and straighten the edges of boards, ensuring they are perpendicular and ready for joining. This is crucial for creating seamless connections between pieces of wood in various woodworking joints.
- Thickening:
- Adjusting the thickness of wood is another common use. By carefully setting the depth of the plane blade, woodworkers can remove thin layers of material, gradually achieving the desired thickness.
- Removing Saw Marks:
- Bench planes are effective in removing marks left by saws or other cutting tools. This contributes to a smoother surface and helps prepare the wood for further refinement.
- Chamfering and Beveling:
- Bench planes can be set to cut at an angle, allowing for chamfering or beveling edges. This is useful for decorative purposes or for creating specific design elements in a woodworking project.
- Final Surface Preparation:
- Before applying finishes such as varnish or paint, wood surfaces often require a final pass with a fine-setting bench plane to ensure a flawless and polished appearance.
- Correcting Warping:
- Bench planes are valuable for correcting warping or twisting in wood. By selectively removing material from high spots, woodworkers can bring the surface back to a flat and even condition.
- Shaping and Tapering:
- Depending on the specific type of bench plane and how it’s set up, these tools can also be used for shaping and tapering wood, allowing for creative and custom designs.
- General Wood Preparation:
- Bench planes are an integral part of the initial wood preparation process, preparing rough lumber for more detailed work with other tools and ensuring a high-quality foundation for woodworking projects.

Block Plane
A block plane is a small, handheld woodworking tool designed for trimming and shaping wood. It typically has a low-angle blade, set bevel up, which protrudes through the bottom of the plane at a fixed angle. Block planes are versatile and commonly used for tasks such as chamfering edges, smoothing end grain, and adjusting the fit of joints. Their compact size and easy maneuverability make them suitable for fine woodworking and detail work.
Spokeshave
A spokeshave is a woodworking tool designed for shaping and smoothing curved surfaces on wood. It typically consists of a blade that can be adjusted and secured in a metal body with handles on each end. The blade is positioned at a low angle to the workpiece and can be used for various tasks such as shaping chair spindles, rounding edges, and refining curved surfaces. The tool is called a spoke shave because it is commonly used in shaping the spokes of wheels, but it is versatile and can be employed for a range of woodworking applications.
