The Stanley No.6 is the fore plane — longer than the No.5, shorter than the No.7 or No.8 jointers. It serves as the transitional plane between jack plane and jointer work.
Cast iron Bailey-pattern body. Standard Bailey adjustment system. At 457 mm it provides enough length for bridging work.
Transitional plane for levelling the surface after jack plane work and before final smoothing.
This page documents the canonical Stanley No.6.
