Stanley Smoothing Plane - No. 2C
The Verdict
Review By: I.Ball
Category: Old Smoothing Planes
Manufacturer: Stanley
Plane Type: Smoothing
Model No: 2C
The Stanley smoothing plane number 2C is basically identical to the
Stanley number 2
with the exception of the sole. The sole of the number 2C has a series
of parallel grooves running the length of the sole.
This type of sole is referred to as a corrugated sole. The 'C' in the
model number '2C' stands for 'corrugated'.
The idea behind the corrugated plane is the sole has less friction when
planing, particularly as the board becomes true. The smoothness of the
planing can be improved further by lubricating the sole with oil/wax etc.
