A jack plane is a general-purpose woodworking bench plane, used for dressing timber down to size in preparation for truing and/or edge jointing. It is usually the first plane used on rough stock, but for rougher work it can be preceded by the scrub plane.[1] The versatility of the jack plane has led to it being the most common bench plane in use.[2]: 34–35 The name jack plane is sometimes used interchangeably with the longer fore plane.
