Stanley 12-105 RB5 Bench Rabbet Plane 2x6 Inches

Product Description

The STANLEY 12-105 is a bench rabbet plane designed for trimming, fitting, and finishing rabbets, dadoes, and tenons in woodworking applications. The RB5 designation identifies this as a rabbet-style bench plane with a 2-inch wide by 6-inch sole, giving the tool enough bearing surface for controlled, repeatable cuts along workpiece edges and shoulders. At 0.92 pounds, it is a lightweight hand tool suited for finish carpentry, cabinet shop work, and joinery tasks where precision material removal is required. Carpenters, finish tradespeople, and skilled woodworkers are the primary users of this plane.

The STANLEY 12-105 RB5 plane is used in applications that require clean, square rabbet cuts and precise shoulder work on wood stock. It is well-suited for residential and light commercial finish carpentry, including door and window casing work, cabinet face frame fitting, and millwork. The 2-inch cutting width accommodates a wide range of standard rabbet joint widths encountered in typical framing and finish carpentry scenarios. This tool is particularly useful when power router access is limited or when fine hand-fitting of joinery is required on the job site or in the shop.
