What angle is the lie Nielsen block plane?
37°
All of our Block planes have the blade bedded at 12°, with the exception of the No. 101 Violin Maker’s Plane, which is bedded at 20°. We grind a 25° bevel on our block plane blades, making the cutting angle 37°.

Where are Lie Nielsen hand planes made?
Warren, Maine USA
Lie Nielsen Hand Planes, crafted in Warren, Maine USA since 1981, are among the finest planes made in the world today.
What angle is a low-angle block plane?
12°
The low-angle block plane has a bed angle of 12° and the blade comes honed at an angle of 25°. Since the blade is used bevel up, the effective cutting angle will be 37°. The 25° blade bevel is ideal for fine trimming work on end-grain softwood and some hardwoods.
Why do planes have low-angle blocks?
Many woodworkers say they prefer the 12° angle (called a “low-angle” block plane) because it is easier to use when cutting end grain. While technically that’s a true statement, the sharpness of the blade is far more important than the plane’s bedding angle when cutting end grain. Tap that.

What angle should a block plane be?
20°
The block plane owes its handy size in part to the shallow angle between the blade—or iron—and the sole. This bedding angle is usually in the neighborhood of 20° for block planes. In a bench plane, it’s normally about 45°. Even so, a block plane’s cutting edge meets the wood at about the same angle as a bench plane’s.
What is the common honing angle for plane irons?
25 degrees
The primary bevel for chisels and plane blades is normally 25 degrees (a time-tested angle). If you look at the blade diagram above its perfectly acceptable, from a sharpness perspective, to hone the primary bevel flat and hone the back of the blade flat and where these two meet you can achieve a sharp cutting edge.
