Stanley 12-247 6-5/8 in. Adjustable Block Plane

Stanley 12-247 6-5/8 in. Adjustable Block Plane

The Stanley 12-247 6-5/8 in. Adjustable Block Plane is sized for one-hand use on trim, edges and end grain. It has a gray cast-iron base with precision-ground sides and bottom for a flat, true reference surface, and a 1-5/8 in. blade set at a 21-degree cutter angle. An epoxy coating helps protect the body, and a front finger rest gives you control when guiding the plane along a board. The plane is backed by a Stanley limited lifetime warranty. Its compact size makes it easy to keep in a tool bag for quick fitting work on site, as well as in the shop for general woodworking and furniture projects. Because it is small enough for one-hand use, it is also a good plane for working on installed doors, cabinets and trim where a larger bench plane is awkward to handle.
