The No. 60.1/2 Classic Low Angle Block plane is a fine example of this popular model. Classic design with classic looks. The solid brass cast and polished cap gives the plane a comfortable hand feel with a little bit more heft. The blade is bevel-up bedded at 13.5°, for super clean cuts especially on end grain and soft woods. The blade is O1 steel, offering excellent edge retention. It comes with a 25° bevel. The blade only requires honing before use (putting a 30° micro bevel on the edge can be done in less than a minute).
The body is grey cast iron and features an adjustable mouth for fine or coarse work. The depth of the cut is controlled with a micro depth adjustment. The lateral blade ensures an even shaving. The sole is 155mm long with a 35mm wide blade.
A weight of 815g, combined with the low blade angle gives you a plane that is almost indispensable for most small trimming tasks.
