Stanley® 1-12-220 No.220 Block Plane

This professional general-purpose adjustable Block Plane has a fine grey iron body and is adjustable for depth of cut and alignment.

Designed for Precision

A block plane is designed to cut end grain and is typically small enough to be used with one hand.

• The cutting blade (also known as an iron) is bedded at a lower angle with the bevel up compared to other planes.
• It is frequently used for paring end grain, possible because its blade has been set at a shallow bed angle.
• This allows the blade to slice through end grain more efficiently.

Furthermore, for this to work, the plane is frequently held at an angle sometimes as much as 45° to the direction of travel, so that the cutting edge slices the wood fibers as they pass from one end of the cutting edge to the other.

Versatile Woodworking Tool

A block plane has many other uses in woodworking, ideal for:

• Cleaning up components by removing thin shavings of wood to make a component fit within fine tolerances.
• Chamfering (angling square edges).
• Removing glue lines.
