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

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.

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.

This is my first wood plane. Reasonably priced. Solid build. I like the small size. Very nice quality. Good instructions. Easy to set up. Worked very well.

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.

Quality tool with multiple adjustments for the price. Smaller size is useful for multiple homeowner uses, such as planing sticking doors and smoothing rough edges. Packaged well and arrived in perfect condition, ready for use.

Excellent plane. This is the second one I have purchased to keep at my cabin because I liked the first so well. The low profile blade cuts effortlessly and does a nice job on cross-grain too. It holds the blades setting yet easy to adjust. Great quality plane.

This truly works as advertised. It’s also well put together and firm. I have no issues with this piece when working with wood. Definitely worth the expense.

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.

Small and clever while working in task.

Looks and works well

Nice and well-made block plane!!
