The

The Jorgensen model #102 low angle block plane is a small trimming plane with a 3mm thick blade made from O1 tool steel. It has a lifetime warranty and carries a very attractive price tag. Just the size I need for small planing tasks such as trimming guitar braces and making cleats for crack repair. Really it has a myriad of woodworking uses. It needs a bit of tweaking but then so do most budget planes these days. See if I think this one is a keeper!

Thank you Sir.🎉

If it’s sitting at 20 degrees it’s not low angle. Low angle is more like 12 degrees. 25 bevel up plus 20,degree bed makes 45 which is no different than a normal bevel down plane. None of this is criticism, it’s just not low angle.
For trimming plugs or putting 1/16” chamfers on stuff, if you can get it cutting properly for $15 it’s totally worth it.
And depending on what you’re doing you might not need it perfectly tuned. If the blade edge is misaligned with the sole it doesn’t really matter for a edge chamfer, for example. It’s $15 compared to $150 for a lee Nielsen.
A good jack plane and a tuned up $15 block plane might make more sense than spending $150 on a good block plane.

I agree it is not a true low angle plane, that is just what the packaging claims. Jorgensen also makes a regular block plane, also with an 1/8" thick, O1 tool steel blade for around 35 dollars. Might have to get one of those to play with too.

Thanks a lot for the info. I just got the 60 ½ and for the price I think it is much more tan I was expecting. It is really nice to make some adjustments. Greetings from Santiago, Chile.
