Description

These are the best woodworking planes we can buy, and will help to ensure that students are equipped with high quality tools that they can be successful with. These block planes will be used in many, many courses. 10 of these will help us to have standard tools for students to work with making instruction easier.


Based on the Stanley No. 60½, this versatile plane is useful for every sort of woodworking job and a pleasure to use.


The movable shoe in front of the blade allows you to easily and precisely adjust the mouth opening: fine mouth for finishing work and thin shavings, or ample opening for rank cuts.


Ductile Iron body is surface ground flat and square to a tolerance of .001" or better. Large, comfortable Bronze cap is tensioned with a 1-1/2" Brass spinwheel. Like our other block planes, the blade is adjusted with a captive nut for precise control with minimal backlash.
