With a size comparable to a #3 bench plane, this low-angle smoother is 9" long, 2 5/16" wide and weighs only 2 lb 12 oz. Smaller and lighter than a full-size smoother, it is easier to maneuver and is less fatiguing to use for extended periods. Further, since the blade is narrower, at 1 3/4" wide, cuts are easier to push through.
