NO.101 MINI BLOCK PLANE

The Jorgensen Woodworking Hand Plane is designed for precise, controlled woodworking with premium materials and carefully machined construction. Built for durability and reliable cutting performance, this hand plane features a heavy-gauge O1 steel blade, a stress-relieved ductile iron body, and an adjustable cutting depth mechanism for accurate material removal.

The 3mm thick O1 steel blade provides rigidity and helps minimize vibration during planing, delivering smooth, consistent cuts. Its durable ductile iron body is stress-relieved and precision-machined to help maintain a flat, stable reference surface over time.

Manufactured with attention to fit and finish, this Jorgensen hand plane is designed to be ready for use with minimal initial honing. A convenient adjustment screw allows users to fine-tune cutting depth for greater control during woodworking tasks, making it a practical choice for woodworkers seeking accuracy, durability, and dependable performance.

FAQ

What is the Jorgensen Woodworking Hand Plane used for?

This hand plane is designed for controlled removal of wood, surface refinement, and general woodworking applications where precise cutting depth and smooth planing are important.

What type of steel is used for the blade?

The plane features a premium O1 tool steel blade measuring 52.5mm long, 22.2mm wide, and 3mm thick. The heavy-gauge construction provides rigidity and helps reduce vibration during cutting.

What is the advantage of a 3mm thick blade?

The thick O1 steel blade provides increased rigidity during planing, helping minimize vibration and blade chatter for smoother, more consistent cuts.

What is the plane body made from?

The body is made from ductile iron, a strong and resilient material designed to provide durability and a stable reference surface during woodworking.

What does stress-relieved casting mean?

Stress relieving is a process that reduces internal stresses in the metal casting, helping the precision-machined plane body maintain its shape and flatness over time.

Can the cutting depth be adjusted?

Yes. The plane features an adjustment screw that allows users to fine-tune blade depth for controlled cutting and material removal.

Does the blade require sharpening before first use?

Jorgensen designs its planes with carefully finished blades intended to require minimal initial honing. Additional honing may be performed depending on the desired cutting edge and application.

Is this plane suitable for precision woodworking?

Yes. Its rigid O1 steel blade, precision-machined ductile iron body, and adjustable cutting depth are designed to support accurate and controlled woodworking tasks.
