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

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.

Good price and works well. I'm somewhat new to hand tools, but this one was ready out of the box. Flat sole, sharp blade. Much better than another one I tried. I would buy Jorgensen again!

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.

Functional little plane. It cuts fine shavings right out of the box and with a bit of fiddling, it can be made to work well. It is a good value for the price but it can be frustrating to use because the adjusters are very sloppy, rough, and not refined such as in my Veritas block plane or even an old Sanley. It has no lateral adjuster, so you have to use a hammer to adjust it laterally. Also, tightening the cap iron shift causes the blade to laterally shift. Mouth adjustment is very crude, not smooth at all, and changes from where you set it as you tighten the knob. Machining is adequate but not the best. The blade depth adjust is not smooth and has excessive backlash. The blade itseld is excellent, made of good steel and well sharpened. The reasons I gave it 4 starts are the price and once you get this plane set (if you have the patience for it) it works very well.

I am not an expert just a handyman, so no proper technical terms from me, but it is very solidly made, adjustments work as they should, and have used it a few times ... loooooong thin shavings (in softwood), arrived flat and very sharp. A great value in my view.

I bought this plane a few weeks ago. Starting right from unpacking everything was a pleasant surprise because this thing is very low priced but the quality is very impressive. Going through the set up process was very quick because I really go a good one. The sides were dead square to the bottom. The bottom plane surface took just a few minutes to get it flat. The blade was a big surprise ! When checking for flat it was hollowed just like a Japanese chisel. That was pure luck. Sharpening took just a reasonable time and I was able to put the best razor edge I've done to date. After reassembly and getting the blade right, it planed beautifully. Really good fit in my hand, super comfortable. Nice weight. Bottom line, this is a terrific buy ! They nailed it with this one same as the mini plane. It's a gem too. After set up these easily perform as well as th much higher priced planes, and I have a few of those.

Great hand plane. Very sharp & makes smooth passes. Used it to plane off some mistaken wording for a laser engraving project. Worked fabulous.

Llego en perfecto estado lo recomiendo

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.
