Lie Nielsen No. 4 Iron Bench Plane fitted with York Pitch (50 degree) Frog- Excellent. Condition is excellent, and lightly used (pictures speak for themselves). Note there is some discoloration and light scratching on the sole - this will not affect use in any way. The blade has the newer style chip breaker and looks to have only been lightly honed since new. As always plane should be honed and adjusted before use. Original box has some oil staining but is complete and intact.
...Stanley-type bench plane irons were bedded at 45 degrees, or Common Pitch. But the famous English Smoothers like Norris are usually bedded at 50º (York Pitch) because the higher angles make smoothing difficult wood easier. York Pitch will handle most tear-out prone wood well.
Shipped with USPS Priority Mail wrapped in original box inside another with padding between just like Lie Nielsen does.
