Like our Low Angle Bench Planes, these planes all have the blade bevel up. Low Angle Block planes have the blade bedded at 12Â°. We grind a 25Â° bevel on our block plane blades. This works well in low angle planes for end grain and general purpose work. Standard angle block planes have the blade bedded at 20Â°. The bedding angle, plus the bevel angle, equal 45Â°, which is the same cutting angle as a bench plane and gives a very good finish on flat and difficult grain. Higher cutting angles will give excellent results in difficult or highly figured woods.
The blade (also called the iron) of the plane needs to be razor sharp before use - even new planes should be sharpened. To sharpen the blade, first place a piece of 220-grit wet/dry sandpaper on a flat surface. Hold the blade at a 25 or 30 degree angle so that the bevel is flat against the sandpaper.
