The Ultimate Smoother – ECE Primus Improved Smoothing Plane
This Primus smoother excells as a fine finishing smoother and will plane any wood tearout free. Its performance is comparable to that of infill smoothers, but for a fraction of price. The performance of ECE Primus Improved Smoothing Plane is not an accident.
Here is what makes this plane great:

• The tearout free part of performance has been achieved by combination of York Pitch (50 degree) bedding angle, adjustable mouth and tight-fitting cap iron. This lets ECE Primus take very delicate shavings and leave smooth surface on any figured wood.
• The sole is made of lignum vitae, which is self lubricating and makes this plane to glide with ease. This is certainly not the situation with metal planes.
• The adjuster is backlash free which means that there is no play when you reverse the direction. Without this feature you never know when did the adjuster really start functioning, so there is a bit of trial and error to find the right depth of the cut.
• In addition, this ECE Primus plane is ergonomically shaped. The hand rest in the back prevents the hand from hitting the blade and the front horn lets you grip it with ease.
