The Clifton Bench Planes are made from the finest materials: the body and frog are made from accurately machined grey cast iron with their sides and sole fully ground.

As with all Clifton woodworking tools, the No 4 is an accurate and smoothly functioning tool aimed at the discerning cabinet maker and woodworker.

As with the number 4, sharpened, honed and set up correctly, I can get shavings that are gossamer thin 0. Note that this style of toothed blade works only with the bevel-up planes and not with the regular "bevel-down" bench planes.This extra length of sole in front of the blade makes it much easier to cut accurately because the extra-long nose makes it easier to maintain the sole flush to the material at the start of a cut. has a 50mm wide blade (rather than 45mm and the mouth is 110mm back of the nose compared with 89mm for the original. This allows you to easily change the mouth setting from a coarse to fine cut for difficult woods or fine smoothing passes. The plane features a lateral adjustment lever that is used to ensure the blade sits square to the mouth opening.

This ensures absolute stability of the Frog, providing a firm and solid surface for the cutting iron, which again rests on a fully machined upper side of the Frog. The accuracy of this mechanism allows for the Cutting Iron to be advanced to give a virtually "Zero" mouth opening, allowing the finest shavings to be taken even on the most difficult of timbers.
