    JOINTER PLANE
    Total Weight; 2.450kg.
    Weight of double iron; 325g (1 13/16")
    Stock dimensions; 28"L x 2 3/8"W x 2 1/4"H.
    Stock; Australian Jarrah (Rift Sawn)
    Rear Tote; 3 finger entry.
    Bed; 52*.

    While both types of wooden bench planes do serve their function extremely well, it is within the area of comfort and control that the Jointer Plane is a clear stand out. imo most of that can be attributed to the benefits that a 3 finger rear tote has over a 4 finger entry. The lower centre of gravity an additional factor. When comparing the difference in force between the 2 planes, the higher bed angle of the Jointer Plane has been offset by the decision to fit a narrower width double iron. The merits on visual design will be left for others to comment on.
