Mesquite no. 4 smoother and mesquite no. 5 1/2 jack planes. As with all my bench planes, equipped with the exclusive adjustable cambering system. The 5 1/2 is just a great all- round plane to use. Adjust in some big camber and use it to hog off material on a glued up panel. In seconds, adjust it down to where the corners of the blade don’t leave any plane tracks, set your chipbreaker distance close, and finish smoothing the panel.
