I barely have to put pressure down to get a good feathery shaving. Out of the box, the foot was flat enough that I didn't feel it necessary to sand it at all. The blade was sharp and had a great shape so I used it straight away. I was able to tune this baby within about 2 minutes and it got to work immediately. I only sharpened the blade after 30 hours or so of intense work, but it sharpened up in less than 20 minutes and then it was back to work. She is as sturdy as it gets and the weight and size feel good in the hands. I can use the pinch technique for edges or grab both handles and go for the gusto, full bore. Honestly, I wish Spear and Jackson made a spokeshave. I would buy that in a heartbeat! Review: "Somehow not desertcart garbage, pretty good." - From a noob - As someone new to hand tool wood working getting this I was expecting to find an desertcart quality item. And to my surprise it only needed to be sharpened. My only gripe is the coating on the bottom comes off quick but for the price and what I got I don't care about those little things. ## Features - Ideal for cabinet work and general joinery - Cast iron body - Precision milled base and faces - 2 inch (50mm) wide, high carbon steel blade - Brass adjusting screw - Base Length: 248.0 ± 2mm - Base Width and Depth: 63 x 42 ± 1mm - Spare blades are available to fit this plane CSP4BLADE ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07KCTL39C | | Base Material | Ductile Cast Iron | | Best Sellers Rank | #235,959 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #55 in Smoothing Planes | | Brand | Spear & Jackson | | Brand Name | Spear & Jackson | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 807 Reviews | | Cutting width | 50 millimeters | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05012095616658 | | Included Components | 1 x Spear & Jackson CSP4 No. 4 Smoothing Plane | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 9.76"L x 2.48"W x 1.65"H | | Item Type Name | Smoothing Plane | | Item Weight | 4 pounds | | Manufacturer | Spear & Jackson | | Manufacturer Part Number | CSP4 | | Material | Wood | | Material Type | Wood | | Model Number | CSP4 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Power Source | Hand Powered | | Product Dimensions | 9.76"L x 2.48"W x 1.65"H | | Style | No. 4 | | Style Name | No. 4 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Spear & Jackson - **Color:** Black - **Item Weight:** 4 Pounds - **Material:** Wood - **Product Dimensions:** 9.76"L x 2.48"W x 1.65"H ## Images ![Spear & Jackson CSP4 No. 4 Smoothing Plane - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71AqsoHJejL.jpg) ![Spear & Jackson CSP4 No. 4 Smoothing Plane - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71XTp91OdKL.jpg) ![Spear & Jackson CSP4 No. 4 Smoothing Plane - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ESDG4cL4L.jpg) ![Spear & Jackson CSP4 No. 4 Smoothing Plane - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71cpfzntrfL.jpg) ![Spear & Jackson CSP4 No. 4 Smoothing Plane - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81mICfvwenL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Would this be a good candidate for turning into a scrub plane?** A: Yes, suitable. The important aspect of a scrub plane is the grind on the blade, and its aggressive set. Paul Sellers, and I'm sure others, has a very good tutorial on grinding/shaping a blade for scrub plane purposes. **Q: Is this product manufactured in the UK?** A: No. It is made in India under the Spear and Jackson brand. **Q: Does this fit a Stanley no. 3?** A: It should! **Q: How can the spare blade be 2.56 inches wide if the plane holds a 50mm (2 inch) blade?** A: I have the CSP4 Plane with this blade. The blade is 2 inches wide. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best No. 4 for the money! *by T***K on August 4, 2026* This! This is what affordable tools should look and feel like!

And to my surprise it only needed to be sharpened. My only gripe is the coating on the bottom comes off quick but for the price and what I got I don't care about those little things. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It takes some tuning but it's serviceable. Beginners read on. *by J***D on February 14, 2023* If you are a beginner, and have the need for #4 then this plane is for you. Know this, I have a Stanley #62 low angle plane and a Wood River #5 1/2. Any new hand plane takes some prep. This plane is no exception. The one major thing that **ANY** plane must have is an absolute flat sole. My Stanley and Wood River planes were perfectly flat. That is the one area this plane fails at. Fortunately it's not so far out that it's not correctable. It will take an hour or so smoothing on a flat surface to get it close enough were it's good enough. The Good: 1. Price, Keep in mind that you get what you pay for. 2. The lever cap prep took about 25 minutes 3. The Chip breaker took only about 5 minutes of prep time and was pretty much flat. 4. The blade was straight and flat. It took about 20 minutes to have it very sharp. The Bad: 1. The sole is going to take some time to get prepped. 2. The blade is very thin, too thin really. If their blade was .030 thicker I would buy a dozen of these. 3. The frog I is not machined as good as it could be. I did flatten it as best I could. 4. I'm not a fan of this style lever cap. But it's functional. All said it's a really good value. I was able to get it taking .001 shavings within an hour. A thicker blade and a more traditional lever cap along with a better sole surface grind at the factory would make this plane a strong competitor to some planes that are literally 10X the price. If you are a beginner, I can not stress enough the prep stage of **ANY** plane. Do a YouTube search for a video called 32 seconds to sharp. I won't mention his name here, but the person teaching this is giving you a master class in hand planes and how and why they operate. Know this, a properly sharpened and prepared hand plane makes your wood prep so smooth there isn't a grade of sandpaper that can make it smoother. I make cutting boards and picture frames out of hardwood. I don't use sandpaper. That is the kind of precision a properly tuned hand plane can get you. Once the prep is done all you ever have to do after is sharpen your blade. The rest is a 1 time thing. You do need a few other tools to achieve this. I have a diamond plate with 400 and 1000 grit, this is used to prep your sharpening stones and to do some blade prep. I have a 1000/6000 whet stone and a 12,000 grit stone. You also need a small thin 6" pocket rule. Watch the video and learn their use. ## Frequently Bought Together - Spear & Jackson CSP4 No. 4 Smoothing Plane - Spear & Jackson CJP5 Carpenters No.5 Jack Plane - Spear & Jackson CBP65 Carpenters 6 1/2 Block Plane --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/170329917-spear-and-jackson-csp4-no-4-smoothing-plane](https://www.desertcart.in/products/170329917-spear-and-jackson-csp4-no-4-smoothing-plane) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-09-11*
