SK4 No. 7 Planer

The most popular size of bench planer, ideal for levelling and producing perfect joints.

The development of these planes is based on the Herdim planes. They have been making them for decades for luthiers, who place a high value on extreme precision and perfect workmanship. The solid, stress-relieving annealed cast steel* planes with finely lapped soles and right-angle ground cheeks are as much a sign of quality as the blades, which are a minimum of 3 mm thick and made of SK4 steel (61 HRC). The easy-to-adjust planer feed allows for simple corrections, while the ergonomic, time-tested grips and polished fins fit comfortably in the hand. Handles made of local red beech wood.
