Block Planes

 

Our block plane design uses the same blade/frog system as our bench planes. However, the mouth adjusting screws aren't used on the block plane.


The sole and middle are Jatoba and the outsides are East Indian Rosewood. The bevel down blade is bedded at 50°. The chipbreaker is built into the frog. The plane works end grain well and, very importantly, won't produce massive tearout on long grain like a low angle plane sharpened at 25° will. It is the only block plane available with a chipbreaker, and it is the only one available with either a carbide or A-2 steel cutter. It is also the only one available with a cambered frog.

Sharpening the Blades:

Both the A-2 steel & carbide blades are easily sharpened with our fixed angle jig. To sharpen the carbide I recommend an x-fine DMT stone and diamond paste on Maple MDF blocks. All of these products are available in our sharpening stone section. I start with 6 u and then 3 u and finish with 1 u.
