JORGENSEN NO.60-1/2 6-1/4" Wood Planer, Hand Planer for Woodworking, Low Angle Block Plane, Small Hand Plane for Trimming, Wood Planing, Craft - Professional Ductile Iron Body, Adjustable Mouth

I have a lie Nielsen block plane in my home shop. I needed one while away from home and picked this one up.Works great, came sharp enough. Added bonus, it was way cheaper than the LN plane. I was very surprised at how well made it was.

The Jorgensen planes are mid-priced planes with above level performance. They all have a nice heft for following through on a cut. I like the knurled adjustment knobs, all the machining is very smooth. The palm rest on top is large and very comfortable. I had only to do a final honing with an Arkansas stone to get it to a nice cut.

Surprisingly nice block plane for the money. Arrived with a flat sole and nearly ready to go sharp iron . Throat adjustment works well, smooth depth adjustment, cap tightens well, hefty and well finished overall. Castings are smooth and paint well done. Adjustment screws are good quality . Hard to go wrong at this price.

This is my first wood plane. Reasonably priced. Solid build. I like the small size. Very nice quality. Good instructions. Easy to set up. Worked very well.

Very pleased with the functionality / quality of this product at the price point.

Excellent small block plane. Well presented in its box, shipped nicely oiled.You could use it as is - there was a pronounced burr on the blade, but it would have worked - but I never expect an ended tool to come perfectly set. Five minutes honing the bevel to remove the tool marks (the back of the blade came with the merest hollow behind the cutting edge, I’ll take that).The sole was usably flat, again, a couple minutes on a diamond plate, registered nicely behind the mouth and at the heel.The blade is hard, keeps a good edge. Much thicker than the Stanley 60 1/2 it’s based on. After setup, wispy edge grain shavings from maple, finely set, cleans up end grain well with no chatter.There is no lateral adjustment incorporated in the blade advance screw, so it’s a case of slack the cap iron slightly, advance the blade and sight down the sole. Easy.The blade beds well with the frog, and is securely held when snugged up.Well worth the price

Solid body, simple design. Almost too simple as there's not lateral adjustment so i'm having a hard time getting the blade perfectly square to the base. However, the depth adjustment is solid, runs smooth so easy to make fine adjustments. The blade was almost perfectly flat and bevel 25 deg from the mill, only took me 5 minutes to flatten, set a new bevel & hone. 10 minutes to get it cutting great. Normally would be 4 stars due to lack of lateral adjuster, but for the price, have to give 5-stars.

What an improvement over my old hand planer. Out of the box I could tell this was much better than my old stuff. The blade is super sharp and it is easy to adjust. So glad I purchase it.

Llego en perfecto estado lo recomiendo

Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo! Con piccoli interventi di pulizia ed una leggera spianata alla suola ( più per pignoleria che altro), mi posso ritenere soddisfatto !La lama è di buon spessore e tiene bene il filo.

This is super sturdy. It just needs to be sharpened when you get it. I find it rips up chunks of wood if you don't get it sharpened. The blade is super thick so I foresee being able to sharpen this many times.It was easy to adjust and comfortable to use.

Small and clever while working in task.

Looks and works well
