Block plane - Lie Nielsen

No. 60-1/2 Rabbet Block Plane

Based on the Sargent No. 507, this low angle, fixed-mouth block plane has open sides with a blade that extends the full width of the body

Ideal for cutting small rabbets or trimming tenons to fit. . It’s a great design, handy as a block plane and wider than most rabbet planes, making it easy to trim tenons to fit.

When set to cut, two circular A2 nickers protrude .010" on each side for scoring cross-grain cuts.

The low angle of 12º makes it an excellent choice for end grain

Unbreakable Ductile Iron body ground flat and square to .001"

Bronze cap.

 6 1/4" long by 1 3/4" overall width
 

Weight 1.65 lbs.

In good condition, showing a small amount of staing to the sides of the plane  (probably caused by previous owners 'rusty fingers'

Would benefit from sharpening and honing before use
