  LN Bench Planes

  Form Follows Function. The mid-sized planes are best for roughing work. These include the No. 5, 5½, 6, 10¼, 62, and 610. The longest planes are designed for flattening. These include the No. 7, 8, and 7½. The shortest, widest planes are ideal for finishing. These include the No. 1, 2, 3, 4, 4½, and 164.

  These solid tools will give excellent results in the most demanding conditions. Precisely made, fit and finished, all Lie-Nielsen planes are ready for use right out of the box with minimal honing required.

  All of our Bench Planes have Manganese Bronze caps and frogs, and Cherry knobs and handles, hand shaped and buffed to a silky smooth finish. Iron tools are cast from Ductile Iron, a very strong alloy that will take a lot of abuse. We use Manganese Bronze for the bodies of Bronze tools. These castings are fully stress relieved, a process that removes inherent stresses and ensures that the tool will remain flat and true.The soles of our planes are machine ground flat and square to .0015" or better, regardless of length.

  Blades are cryogenically treated A2 tool steel, double tempered to Rockwell 60-62. Blades are shipped with a flat ground 25° bevel. For longer edge life in abrasive or hard woods, increase the bevel angle up to 30° or 35°. This is quickly accomplished by honing a small secondary bevel.

  LN Block Planes

  Block planes are the workhorses of the shop. Like our Low Angle Bench Planes, these planes all have the blade bevel up.

  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°. This works well in low angle planes for end grain and general purpose work.

  Higher cutting angles will give excellent results in difficult or highly figured woods. A powerful technique for enhancing the performance of low angle planes is simply to hone an angle higher than 25º on the blade. For example, a 33º bevel makes an effective cutting angle of 45º, and a 38º bevel equals a 50º cutting angle. This is easily done by honing a small secondary bevel - no need to alter the entire bevel.

  LN Scraping Planes

  A planed finish is always preferable to a scraped finish, but scraping planes are used for finishing woods that do not yield well to the hand plane. A scraping plane is more comfortable to use than a hand scraper, and the plane body helps you keep the surface you are scraping flat.

  They can be tricky to master, however. To make it easier, we do not recommend using a burr, at least until you’ve learned how to use the tool. These tools will cut very well with the blade sharpened like a plane blade.

  All of our Scraping Planes have thick blades, beveled at 45° for easy sharpening. The blades are soft enough to burnish, but hard enough to hold an edge well. Sharp, set properly, and used with smooth, light strokes, these tools will produce a final finished surface on the most difficult hardwoods.
