This has been probably discussed before maybe many times. But, here goes.
WoodCraft #4 Bench Plane $144.99
Lee valley Veritas #4 Smoothing Plane $219
Home Depot Stanley 9 3/4" bench Plane $46.35
Home Depot Stanley #4 Sweetheart Plane $149.95
Home Depot Buck Bro.s 9" Bench Plane $29.97
They are all roughly the same size. From what my untrained brain can see they do about the same thing. I also understand you get what you pay for. BUT...
Why such a large span of prices?
What should I look for in plane of this size?
What's the difference among a bench, a smoothing and a sweetheart plane?
Thanks
