Based on the Stanley No. 60½, this versatile plane is useful for every sort of woodworking job and a pleasure to use.

Ductile Iron body is surface ground flat and square to a tolerance of .001" or better. Large, comfortable Bronze cap is tensioned with a 1-1/2" Brass spinwheel. Like our other block planes, the blade is adjusted with a captive nut for precise control with minimal backlash. The blade is bedded at 12° for fine cuts and end grain work.
