Product Information:

"A Stanley Tradition since 1843" - Stanley reintroduces their Sweet Heart logo with a new line of premium hand planes. If you're a woodworker, finding an old Stanley tool with their Sweet Heart logo is like finding a treasure, and many consider these hand planes to be the best of the best. These new planes were created with the input of users and engineers combining science and the art of toolmaking to produce the best possible tool. Each plane features an adjustable mouth, a 1/8'' thick A2 steel blade, and a one-piece precision ground frog and base casting. Limited lifetime warranty. Instructions for care and use included. The 60-1/2 S.W. Low Angle Block Plane features a 2-1/8'' wide x 6-1/2'' ductile iron base with a 1-3/4'' wide blade. At 2 lbs. might be a tad heavy for the tool belt but the extra mass comes in handy when edge planing or doing any cross-grain work.

By skeptic from Toledo OH About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer Pros Lightweight Strong Versatile Works Effectively Cons Aluminum Lever Cap Best Uses Joinery Large Projects Small Projects Comments about Stanley SW No. 60-1/2 Low Angle Block Plane : Is it perfect? Does it get any better? There is not much better for the money on the market. It's a sweet plane and worth every penny if cared for properly & not abused. 2 lb 1 oz on the kitchen scale. Machining is excellent. Iron was sharp right out of the box with a hair thick burr on the flat side. The depth adjustment heavy duty round pin engaging the iron allows lateral adjustment. A2 iron steel is a better quality & value for the money spent on similiar priced block planes. One minor negative is the aluminum lever cap. TIGHTEN UNTIL SNUG.
