KITs
I own and recommend WoodRiver V3 planes. These planes are based on the reliable Stanley Bedrock design, are very well made, and have an excellent price point making them a "BEST VALUE."
The No. 6 plane, sometimes referred to as a "fore" plane, shares characteristics with the Jack and Jointer planes. For those on limited budget I recommend purchasing a No. 6 for your Jack and Jointer needs and a No. 4-1/2 for your smoother needs. This combination will take care of 95% of your bench plane needs.
