711 - ECE Primus Improved Smoothing Plane
This is the ultimate fine finishing smoother. ECE Primus Improved Smoothing Plane will plane any wildly figured hardwood without tearout. The lignum vitae sole is self lubricating and makes pushing the plane effortless, far easier than any metal plane. If you want to make gossamer thin shavings, this is the right plane. This plane far surpasses any of the Stanley type planes. It is in the same class with the infill planes. Even better news is that it is affordable, and the combination of all these virtues makes it the ultimate smoothing plane.

Model No. 704

704 - ECE Primus Smoothing Plane
This is another wonderful smoother. The only significant difference from the #711 Improved smoother is the absence of adjustable mouth. #704 ECE Primus Smoothing Plane will leave wonderful smooth surface on all but the gnarliest woods. When properly honed and set for a light cut, it will produce thin, full width ribbon-like shavings.

Model No. 703

703 - ECE Primus Jack Plane
Primus Jack Plane is 9 1/2 inches long, which is continental European measure for the jack plane. For those who prefer British/North American version (longer), there is the English Pattern Jack Plane. The blade is bedded at 45 degrees which makes this plane suitable for general type of work. This is the first plane that you would use on a rough board. Its purpose is to remove high spots and rough parts and to prepare the surface for the smoother.

Model No. 741

741 - ECE Primus English Pattern Plane
Primus English Pattern Jack is 15 1/2 inches long which makes it more suitable for truing longer boards than the continental European version. Also very important is that the bedding angle on this plane is 50 degrees which makes it suitable for fine cabinetry work. Higher bedding angle will cause less tearout on figured woods. This is one of the finest jack planes available anywhere.

Model No. 701

701 - ECE Primus Jointer Plane
Primus Jointer is intended to be used for jointing (truing) edges of long boards. Give it a try if you haven't yet, it is a lot of fun to produce perfectly straight long edge. This plane is 24 inches long, which is a good size for jointing.

Model No. 710

710 - ECE Primus Rabbet Plane
Primus Rabbet Plane is probably the most advanced plane of this type in existence. It has a depth adjuster, which is unheard of for this type of planes. The adjustable mouth and the chipbreaker will let you take fine shavings. On traditional rabbet planes the mouth is not adjustable, and as the bottom wears out, the mouth gets bigger and bigger. This creates more and more tearout. Not so with the Primus Rabbet. Just slide the mouth piece and close that gapping mouth!
