Quangsheng No. 3 Bedrock Pattern Smoothing Plane
The No 3 is a smaller version of the No 4 and does the same job producing a silky smooth finish on the timber ready for polishing. The No 3 has a delicate, precise feel and as long as you dont have hands like JCB digger buckets is extremely comfortable to use. There is also a partial crossover in roles between the No 3 and the block plane, with the No 3 proving a more satisfactory option in some cases. Unlike Bailey pattern planes, the frogs of bedrocks have a full contact area with the body and can be adjusted fore and aft without the need to remove the irons. Simply loosen the two locking screws on either side at the back of the frog, adjust the central screw to set your desired mouth opening and then nip up the side screws again. This system is easier, faster, more accurate and less likely to damage the cutting edge.
