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.

Stanley 12-247 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a Stanley 12-247 block plane work for easing a door that's sticking in its frame?
That's one of the jobs it's sized for. At 6-5/8 inches long with a 1-5/8 inch blade, the 12-247 is a one-hand plane, so you can work a door edge or a jamb in place without the awkward two-handed reach a bench plane needs. The 21-degree cutter angle handles the end grain at the top and bottom of a door stile as well as the long edges. Cast-iron base with precision-ground sides and bottom keeps the cut flat as you run it along the stile.
2) Block plane or bench plane for trim and casework on site?
A block plane is the one you carry. The Stanley 12-247 is 6-5/8 inches long and made for one-hand use, which is what you want for chamfering an edge, cleaning up a miter, or trimming a cabinet part to fit. A bench plane is longer and two-handed, better for flattening and truing a board over its length, and it's clumsy on an installed door or a piece of casing. If most of your work is fitting and edge-breaking rather than stock preparation, the block plane covers it.
3) Is the 21-degree cutter angle on the Stanley 12-247 good for end grain?
Yes. Twenty-one degrees is a low cutter angle, and a low angle is what lets a block plane slice end grain instead of tearing it. That makes the 12-247 useful for trimming the ends of door stiles, cleaning up miter cuts on casing, and fitting furniture parts where you are cutting across the fibers.
4) Is the sole on the Stanley 12-247 flat enough to use as a reference surface?
The base is gray cast iron with the sides and bottom precision ground, so both the sole and the sides are true. Ground sides matter if you plane into a shooting board or need to register the plane square against a fence. The body also carries an epoxy coating for protection.
5) What is adjustable on the Stanley 12-247 plane?
It's an adjustable block plane, meaning the blade depth is set by the buyer rather than fixed, so you can take a heavy bite to knock a door edge back or a fine shaving to break a corner on trim. The blade is 1-5/8 inches wide. A front finger rest gives you a purchase point for control while you're guiding it.
6) What model and part number should I order for the Stanley 6-5/8 in. adjustable block plane?
Stanley model 12-247. That is the manufacturer part number to quote, and it covers the 6-5/8 inch adjustable block plane with the 1-5/8 inch blade.
