What is the meaning of bench plane?

A plane (such as a jack plane or smoothing plane) used by a carpenter or joiner in benchwork.

What are bench planes used for?

A large, flat sole on a plane guides the cutter to remove only the highest parts of an imperfect surface, until, after several passes, the surface is flat and smooth. When used for flattening, bench planes with longer soles are preferred for boards with longer longitudinal dimensions.

What do the numbers on bench planes mean?

The numbers 1 to 8 simply refer to different lengths of plane with #1 being (very) short and #8 being pretty long.
