Lie-Nielsen low angle adjustable mouth block plane No. 60 1/2, bedded at 12°. It is 6 1/4" long with a 1-3/8" (3.49 cm) x 1/8" (3.17 mm) thick blade. The body is surface ground flat and square to a tolerance of less than .001" (.0254 mm), and features a moveable shoe to allow precise, easy control over the mouth opening in front of the blade. You can easily adjust the tool to suit the work being done: a very fine mouth setting for finishing work and the merest shavings, or an ample opening for rank cuts.
The bronze cap iron is large and comfortable. It is tensioned with a 1 1/2" (3.81 cm) brass spinwheel. The blade is adjusted with a captive nut for precise control with minimal backlash. The blade is ground with a 25° flat bevel.
This tool has an appealing feel in the hand and is a pleasure to use. It is versatile, of a convenient size, and cuts with the authority of 1 1/2 pounds behind every stroke. Useful for every sort of woodworking job, this tool will quickly become a favorite. An ideal companion to the Low Angle Jack Plane.

Specific References
The planes work the same way and have the same blade, frog and precision, so the difference is the material of the body:
Bronze – heavier, which gives a calm, steady stroke, and it does not rust. The surface develops an attractive patina over time.
Cast iron – a little lighter and less expensive. The surface needs protecting against rust with wax, for example.
A No. 4 smoothing plane in bronze weighs 2 kg, for example, while the same plane in cast iron weighs 1.8 kg. Choose bronze if you want extra mass and no rust, and cast iron if you want a lighter plane at a lower price.
Yes. All Lie-Nielsen planes are supplied complete and ready to use, with frog, chip breaker and a lapped A2 blade. You do not need to buy the blade separately.
Iron body means the plane body is cast iron, as opposed to the bronze models. PM-V11 is not available for Lie-Nielsen, as it is Veritas' own steel. The plane comes in a brown box with the Lie-Nielsen logo on the lid, which is easy to gift wrap.
