In my opinion, this plane is one of the most versatile tools you will ever use. It can smooth surfaces, joint sides, and chamfer edges. Our version features a high carbon tool steel iron. The adjustable mouth and knob make it easy to change from thick/coarse cuts to super-fine smoothing cuts. With their comfortable chrome-plated knuckle cap, these block planes resemble the versions of yesteryear. Once you learn to use this multi-talented tool, you will use it on every project. It is simply a must-have woodworking tool.

Unlike most bench planes, the block plane blade is installed bevel up. In addition to supporting the blade at the cutting edge, this orientation makes it easy to adjust the cutting angle to match the job.

Above all else, a truly sharp blade is key to successful planing.
