Q: What is this small bevel-up smooth plane used for?
It's useful for final finishing of surfaces, end-grain work and shooting miters, similar to a full-size smoother but in a size comparable to a #3 bench plane.

It's useful for final finishing of surfaces, end-grain work and shooting miters, similar to a full-size smoother but in a size comparable to a #3 bench plane.
Yes, being smaller and lighter than a full-size smoother, it's easier to maneuver and less fatiguing to use for extended periods, and its narrower blade requires less effort to push through cuts.
A Norris-type adjuster combines feed and lateral adjustments in one mechanism, making blade setting accurate and easy, while a locking front knob and stop-screw control the mouth opening.
