Extra Info: What is a Smoothing Plane? Smoothing Plane Videos
Manufacturer: Union
Plane Type: Smoothing
Model No: 2
The Union smoothing plane number 2 is a small 182mm long plane made
in USA.
The Union number 2 was the smallest of the Union bench plane range.
The body of the plane is constructed from cast iron. The sole and the
sides of the body were originally machined and ground to make sure the
plane body is flat and true.
The top-side of the plane body is finished with a black finish which
is usually synonymous with the Stanley plane range.
The Union 2 plane has the lateral lever adjuster and frog adjusting
mechanism which is almost identical to most planes of this type.
The plane has a shaped Rosewood rear handle and Rosewood front knob.
The plane blade is marked 'Union MFG Co, New Britain CT, USA'.
The Union number 2 plane is very similar to the Stanley number 2 plane.
So much so that if someone was to switch the lever cap from a Union lever
cap to a Stanley lever cap, the plane could easily be mistaken for a Stanley
number 2 without closer inspection.

"Just stumbled across your website and an absolute treasure trove of information.
I was recently given an old Stanley 110 block plane and wanted to know more about it.
Your website told me everything I needed to know.
But there is so much more to read. I forsee me spending a lot of time just reading
page after page. I can appreciate how much time this will have taken to put together.
I just wanted to let you know that your hard work is appreciated."
