Sorry, our agreement with Woodcraft restricts us from shipping WoodRiver Planes to the U.S.
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."
All of our Woodriver bench planes receive our Cosman preparation service so they are100% ready to use out of the box. See prep service below for description of what we do.
The jointer plane (also known as a "try" plane) is used to straighten the edges of boards in the operation known as jointing and it can also be used to flatten the face of a board. Its long length is designed to 'ride over' the undulations of an uneven surface, skimming off the peaks, gradually creating a flat surface.

Plane Preparation Service: All planes require some preparation. Our complete plane preparation service makes it so that no set-up is required by you. Your plane will be ready to use 'out-of-the-box! Our Plane Preparation Service includes:
- Flattening the sole to within +/- 0.0015 of an inch (0.038mm) of perfectly flat.
- Squaring the sides to within +/- 0.0015 of an inch (0.038mm) of 90 degrees to the now flat sole.
- Flattening the bottom of the the rear handle (tote) and the front handle (knob) and their boss so they mate properly with no movement.
- Chamfering / easing all edges and corners on the sole of the plane.
- Tuning the lateral adjustment lever so it moves freely.
- Applying a back bevel (Charlesworth ruler trick) to the back of the plane blade.
- Sharpen the blade using micro-bevels. Final polishing is done using 16,000 grit ceramic waterstone.
- Flattening the back edge of the lever cap so it mates properly to the chipbreaker.
- Flattening the leading edge of the chipbreaker so it mates properly to the blade.
- Testing the operation and set-up of the plane.
- Removing all of the shipping / packing grease and applying a light coat of camellia oil to all the metal surfaces to prevent rust.
