Featuring a 12-degree bed angle and an adjustable mouth, this hand plane is crafted from durable high carbon alloy steel, ensuring longevity and reliability. Weighing just 925g, it combines ergonomic design with lightweight portability, making it an essential addition to any woodworker's toolkit. ## Description The WoodRiver Block Plane is based on the venerable Stanley 65 low angle and 18 standard angle Knuckle Cap design, generally considered one of best block plane designs around. With the widely recognized comfortable chrome plated Knuckle Cap, these block planes look like the standard and low angle versions of yester year. Upon closer inspection youll notice changes to the base castings which not only strengthen historically weak points of the original design, but also improve the blade bedding area. Improved blade adjustment mechanisms allow for crisp, easy adjustment of the blades using the rear adjustment knob. The adjustable mouth is very smooth to operate and allows fine tuning of the mouth for work ranging from coarse to creating whisper thin shavings. The stress relieved ductile iron castings are precision machined, flat and square. Each plane is outfitted with a high carbon tool steel tool blade, which is hardened to Rc60-64 for maximum edge retention and ground to a 2 Review: A True Craftsman’s Tool - Definitely the best hand plane I’ve ever had. I’ve been a carpenter (mostly finish and cabinets) for 27 years. In the past I’ve had a few big box block planes. Once the sole was flattened and the blade sharpened and honed I thought, that’s good enough. However, this plane came out of the box very flat (not perfect but I’m not a machinist) and the 1/8” thick blade was sharp enough to test plane some 1x white oak I had. I looked at more expensive and less expensive planes, some of which seem like they are intended to be more of a decoration rather than a woodworking tool. This one meets the need with only a little chrome.. The plane does weight a lot (cast iron body compared to the pot metal that likely makes up the cheap ones I’ve had). The very best part for me is the quick release frog/chipbreaker. The blade advance is so easy compared to other planes. I read some reviews that it keeps popping up/loose. It did that to me a couple times so I gave the tension screw a quarter turn tightening and presto! I love this tool so much that I plan to use it for all the fillers and baseboards I need to fine tune the scribe with. I even made a nifty leather pouch so I can keep it on my belt at all times. Review: Great plane - Love this plane. I have been using this plane for several months now. I did sharpen the blade, thanks to Rob Cosman's videos on how to sharpen blades. But I love smoothly taking edges off for a nicer finish. ## Features - Knuckle Style Lever Cap - 12 degree Bed Angle - High Carbon Tool Blade, 25 degree Blade Angle 1-5/8W x 0.125T - 2W x 7L ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003VR65M6 | | Brand | WOODRIVER | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 141 Reviews | | Cutting Width | 1.63 Inches | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00844788010611 | | Included Components | Hand Planer | | Included components | Hand Planer | | Item Weight | 925 g | | Item weight | 925 g | | Manufacturer | WoodRiver | | Material | Alloy Steel | | Model Number | 151125W | | Part Number | 151125W | | Style | Traditional | | UPC | 844788010611 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** WOODRIVER - **Material:** Alloy Steel - **Item weight:** 2.04 Pounds - **Style:** Traditional - **Included components:** Hand Planer ## Images ![Low Angle Block Hand Plane with Adjustable Mouth - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81bEBh4+pjL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What Makes a WOODCRAFT product the gold standard?** A: WoodRiver is proudly made by Woodcraft, America’s leading supplier of high-quality woodworking hand tools, power tools, domestic and exotic wood, shop supplies, project plans and kits, plus so much more! **Q: Which is the best plane for my needs?** A: While there are many kinds of planes, we do recommend that you read the bullet features of each to find out what may work best for your needs. **Q: Do you offer replacement blades?** A: Yes!

I did sharpen the blade, thanks to Rob Cosman's videos on how to sharpen blades. But I love smoothly taking edges off for a nicer finish. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Impressed *by M***T on 3 March 2023* After being a hobbyist woodworker for years I’ve been trying to learn and use more traditional hand tools. I’ve rehabbed half a dozen garage sale Stanley planes over the last few years, getting use to the tools before dipping my toes into the pricier options. I finally decided to step up to the Wood River low angle block plane to replace a much cheaper low end box store plane. I couldn’t be happier. I wanted to see how well this plane worked right out of the box with out spending the customary hour or two fine tuning blade and sole. I cleaned up the minimal amount of packing oil with mineral spirits, adjusted the blade and put it to work on some very well seasoned ash. Out of the box it’s producing great shavings on the long grain and trueing up the end grain without tear out. I guess you really do get what you pay for. As useful as a block plane is, I know this will be getting lots of work in the future…it’s pleasant to use a plane I’m not regularly fighting with. Fit and finish are spot on. Can’t wait to see how it’ll run fully tuned. I would definitely recommend this plane. ## Frequently Bought Together - WOODRIVER Low Angle Block Plane with Adjustable Mouth - Narex 6 pc Set 6 mm (1/4), 10 (3/8), 12 (1/2), 16 (5/8), 20 (13/16), 26 (1-1/16) Woodworking Chisels in Wooden Presentation Box 853053 - Clarke Brothers Wheel Marking Gauge - Woodworking Marking Scriber Kit With 2 Replacement Cutters - Wood Marking Tools With Graduated Inch & MM Scale - Solid Metal Bar Wood Scribe Tool For Carpenter --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/501281494-low-angle-block-hand-plane-with-adjustable-mouth](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/501281494-low-angle-block-hand-plane-with-adjustable-mouth) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-09-08*
