: Customer reviews: No. 4 1/2 Smoothing Plane
Then I''m lusting after a #4 bronze smoother. I like the idea of the heavier, no rust, bronze bodies and wish that the 4 1/2 and 5 1/2 had bronze models. Yes, they are pricey, but the pleasure of using these planes and not having to expend a lot of time and effort tuning a cheaper plane is well worth the expense, to me. 27 people found this helpful.
