Like our Low Angle Bench Planes, these planes all have the blade bevel up. Low Angle Block planes have the blade bedded at 12Â°. We grind a 25Â° bevel on our block plane blades. This works well in low angle planes for end grain and general purpose work. Standard angle block planes have the blade bedded at 20Â°. The bedding angle, plus the bevel angle, equal 45Â°, which is the same cutting angle as a bench plane and gives a very good finish on flat and difficult grain. Higher cutting angles will give excellent results in difficult or highly figured woods.
The terms edge angle and included angle can be important when talking about grinding. The edge angle is measured between the surface of an edge and a line running from the point of the cutting edge to the centre of the back edge. The included angle is the sum of the edge angles. All other things being equal, the smaller the included angle, the sharper the blade and the easier it is to damage the edge. An appropriate grind will depend upon what the blade is to be used for and the material from which the blade is made.
