Cepillo de banco Stanley BAILEY No62 acero madera negro 5 cm hoja

The Stanley BAILEY No62 Jack Plane is a traditional smoothing plane constructed with a combination of steel and wood. With an overall length of 355 mm and a blade width of 5 cm, this tool is designed for general smoothing and light stock removal on wooden surfaces. The plane’s metal body and wooden components provide a balance between rigidity and tactile control, making it suitable for tasks where a flat, consistent finish is required.

Advantages

The steel and wood construction ensures structural durability and a comfortable grip during extended use. The 5 cm cutting edge enables precise shavings for controlled material removal, while the 355 mm length contributes to a straighter cut across the board. The plane’s design supports easy blade adjustment and stable seating for consistent performance over repeated passes.

Suitable for

• Smoothing rough-sawn or planed timber
• Truing edges and reducing high spots
• Preparing boards for finishing or glue-up
• General woodworking tasks in workshops and on-site

Key specifications

• Overall length: 355 mm
• Blade width (cutting edge): 50 mm
• Material: steel body with wooden components
• Tool type: smoothing/jack plane

How to use

Set the blade to a shallow depth for fine shavings by adjusting the blade seating and lateral alignment until the cutting edge is parallel to the sole. Hold the plane with a firm but relaxed grip, placing one hand on the rear handle and the other near the front for guidance. Push the plane along the grain in steady, controlled strokes, overlapping passes to produce a uniform surface. Periodically check the sole and blade for flatness and sharpness and resurface the blade as needed for optimal results.

Recommendations

Use the Stanley BAILEY No62 with a properly sharpened blade and ensure the sole is clean before starting. For best results, work with the wood grain and make multiple light passes rather than heavy cuts. Store the plane in a dry environment and apply a light coating of oil to metal parts to prevent corrosion when not in use.
