Now a valuable part of my shop Review: Know what you are getting into - First of all, if you've seen the prices for vintage planes recently; you'll understand that these Spear and Jackson planes are a deal and a half. It's hard to find a vintage plane that doesn't need 10 times more work for 3 times the price. That said, you will need to do some work to true this tool up. By far the biggest issue is the grind of the blade. The back is nowhere near flat. And because the steel is relatively hard, flattening the back of the blade can take time. The bevel grind is also only fair at best. It's not hard to clean up the bevel with just a simple inexpensive diamond stone. The second biggest problem is the chip breaker. Even after you flatten and sharpen the blade, the chip breaker isn't going to be well fitted. Getting the correct angle and sharpening/polishing the top is a little tricky but not impossible. The bed does have a bit of a belly, as is to be expected of almost any modern cast iron part (the metal can continue to move for up to a year after casting). But flattening that out doesn't take long. My only other gripes are pretty minor. The over all finish of the tote and knob are inconsistent from one plane to the next. The number 5 I bought was great. The number 4 had some half hearted attempt to cover over a small spot of sap wood. The sap wood doesn't bother me. The big glob of obvious brown paint did. Still it only took a couple minutes to sand it off and re-apply varnish. Bottom line, these aren't "great" planes out of the box. But having restored a couple dozen vintage planes in the past few years...they can be made into really good planes with fairly minimal effort. I've been really happy with the Spear and Jackson tools I've bought recently. I wouldn't say any of them were work ready out of the box. But then again...they've all been less than a 3rd the price of other "inexpensive" options. And with a little attention, can be made in to really good user tools. ## 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 Β± 2mm - Base Width and Depth: 63 x 42 Β± 1mm - Spare blades are available to fit this plane CSP4BLADE ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07KCTL39C | | Base Material | Ductile Cast Iron | | Best Sellers Rank | #174,957 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #38 in Smoothing Planes | | Brand | Spear & Jackson | | Brand Name | Spear & Jackson | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 787 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 | | 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 | 1.0 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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty reasonable priced and worth the purchase *by K***R on March 15, 2026* Well made product, nice looking and works great.

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. ## 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? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/170329917-spear-and-jackson-csp4-no-4-smoothing-plane](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/170329917-spear-and-jackson-csp4-no-4-smoothing-plane) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-06-21*
