Wikipedia
Jack plane
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. The versality of the jack plane has led to it being the most common bench plane in use.: 34–35 The name jack plane is sometimes used interchangeably with the longer fore plane.

jack plane
A jack plane is a versatile woodworking hand tool used for smoothing, leveling, and shaping wooden materials. It has a flat base and a sharp blade that is designed to remove small amounts of wood when pushed along the surface of a piece. It is larger than a smoothing plane but smaller than a fore plane, making it ideal for either rough or fine work, depending on the adjustment of the blade.

Jack plane
A jack plane is the general-purpose bench plane, used for general smoothing of the edges, sizing of timber but only making it smaller to correct size-- wood Edge jointing jointing. Jack planes are about 12-15 inches long, and the blade can have either a slightly circled edge for smoothing stock, or a curved edge for jointing stock. In preparing stock, the jack plane is used after the scrub plane and before the jointer plane and smoothing plane. The name is related to the saying "jack of all trades" as jack planes can be made to perform some of the work of both smoothing and jointer planes, especially on smaller pieces of work. A jack plane came to be referred to as a "No. 5" plane or a "Bailey pattern No. 5," at the end of the 19th century. Prior to that, all but the blade was made of wood in bench planes. The "No." nomenclature originally used by Stanley Tools to label its Bailey pattern plane products continues to identify planes made by various manufacturers. Not all manufacturers of the era had the same number scheme for their planes. Millers Fall and Sargent used different numbers to refer to the same planes.
