## Long description

The Folding Plane STANLEY EK038-BD is a compact hand plane intended for smoothing, trimming and fine finishing of wooden surfaces. Its folding mechanism protects the blade during transport and storage, while the overall size and weight are optimized for portability. Designed by STANLEY for on-site carpentry, joinery repairs and hobby woodworking, this plane is suitable when a small, reliable tool is needed to remove thin shavings, adjust edges or refine profiles.
Advantages
The folding design secures the cutting iron inside the body, reducing the risk of damage and making the plane safer to carry in a tool bag. The plane provides controlled material removal for accurate smoothing and edge trimming. Its compact dimensions allow use in confined spaces and on-site jobs where a full-size plane would be impractical. Constructed with durable materials for everyday craft and repair tasks, it offers a straightforward mechanical design that is easy to maintain.
Suitable for
Smoothing small wooden panels and boards
Trimming edges, door or window fittings and tenon cheeks
On-site carpentry and joinery repair work
Hobby woodworking, model making and fine finishing
Working in confined spaces where portability is required
Key specifications
Tool type: folding manual hand plane for wood
Main function: smoothing, trimming and fine finishing of wooden surfaces
Design: compact, foldable body to protect the blade during transport and storage
Blade: replaceable cutting iron suitable for fine shavings (sharpness affects finish)
Materials: metal body and hardware with protective folding mechanism for the blade
Portability: small size and light weight for easy carrying to job sites
How to use
Open the folding plane and secure the blade in its working position according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Hold the tool with a steady grip and plane along the wood grain, applying light, even pressure to remove thin shavings. For trimming edges or fitting joints, make several light passes rather than heavy cuts to maintain control and prevent tear-out. Close the plane and fold the blade back into the body for transport or storage after cleaning any debris and wiping the blade dry to reduce corrosion.
Usage recommendations
Keep the blade sharp for consistent results; hone or replace the cutting iron when the finish becomes rough. Use protective gloves when changing the blade and store the plane folded in a dry place. For best results, plane with the grain and perform test passes on scrap wood when adjusting blade depth.
