Lie-Nielsen’s No. 102 Bronze Low Angle Block Plane is a general-purpose block plane based on Stanley’s original No. 102 design. Shorter than the 60-1/2 by an inch, it fits comfortably in the hand and apron pocket. The 1-1/4″ wide plane iron is bedded at 12° and secured in milled grooves for total stability, making it a great plane for fine cuts and endgrain work. Depth of cut is adjusted mechanically with stainless steel hardware. Bronze body is 5-1/4″ long, with highly polished bronze cap. Weighs 1 lb.
