The fore plane is a type of woodworking bench plane typically used for preparing and flattening rough workpieces before other planes, such as the jointer plane and the smoothing plane, are used on them. The name fore plane is sometimes used synonymously with the jack plane, but the fore plane is usually longer, which makes it more effective at leveling larger workpieces.
