I thought a number 4 was a smoothing plane or bench plane . No 5 and upwards are Jack planes or jointer planes.
Screwfix say that this has a 20 degree angle, but I can’t find any honing guides for a 20 degree angle – just 25 and 30 degrees. What do you recommend David?
This is a great video David! It should help many people who are trying to get into woodworking without breaking the bank. I am really amazed from the performance of these hand planes which apparently all are made in India. Here is a blog from Paul Sellers about the same planes – different brands.

Happy woodworking everybody, and thank you David! 🙂
$20 in the United States. I just purchased this plane. Nice to see a cheap plane can do a nice job in capable hands. I was adjusting mine all wrong so thank you for the great instructions!
Thanks for the video – super useful
Superb concise instructions…THANK YOU X Gail in Plymouth
You know, these don’t seem too bad. How flat and square was it new? I can find #4 Baileys all day that just need a clean up to work well but if someone needed a new plane on a budget this seems pretty similar to the old models, save for the plastic handles.
Wait a no.4 is a jack? Did I hear that correctly?
Thank you David, very helpful – a guide for ‘the rest of us’. I know there are many, many videos on YouTube about tool sharpening. I think you would be able to make a useful addition if you could cover the practical basics. i.e. How to get a chisel or plane blade ‘good enough’ to use.
very nice plane.. How about the weight how many Kilogram ?
Thanks. Massive help.
Hi David. Thanks for the video. I have access to buying this in my country. How would you rate this vs a Stanley no 4 (£50 on Amazon one). And overall is this a good enough plane to last a few years or more? Also is the bottom flat or does it need work?
Great tutorial! thanks. I have it. Is it good for guitar building ? Thanks.
I have bought this plane and my blade sticks out under the sole much to far, around 2mm, even when the adjustment is backed fully out. I can’t work out for the life of me what I’m doing wrong. I have 3 other planes and don’t have this problem with any of them.
I found this video very useful in demonstrating the basic principles of operation of the Record No4 plane. Many thanks.
nice job
