Description of Low Angle Jack Plane
The Lie-Nielsen Low Angle Jack Plane is based on the Stanley 62. Ours is an outstanding plane. The low angle blade set with the bevel up (making this technically a block plane) was originally designed for end grain work. Our massive blade makes for very smooth cutting on end or long grain and figured woods. The blade is shipped with a 25? flat bevel. Using higher angles up to 40? gives excellent results on difficult grain. This can easily be done by honing a small secondary bevel at the higher angle. An extra blade on hand prepared this way is very handy. The generous handle is hand-shaped for a comfortable grip. The soles are ground dead flat. Design and workmanship combine to make a tool that will be a pleasure to own and use every day for years to come.Tools and Hardware Reviews of Low Angle Jack Plane
Customer Review: LN #7-1/2 LA Jointer Plane
Summary: 5 Stars
Low angle planes are versatile uncomplicated tools that will do a great job on end grain and long grain in most situations. This jointer weighs approximately 7-1/4 lbs. making it a powerful workhorse for heavy stock removal. I noticed a huge difference between the LN no. 7-1/2 Low Angle Jointer Plane and the regular LN no. 7 Jointer Plane; the LN no. 7-1/2 LA cut much smoother and with less effort. I also liked the fact that the LN Planes are always ready to use out of the box, the blades are almost perfect right from the factory! But it wouldn't hurt to tune up the blade to optimize the Plane's performance further.
The bevel up blade orientation allows you to adjust the cutting angle to deal with any type of wood and grain configuration you are working with. Seeing as the cutting angle is determined by the micro bevel vs. the bedding angle, you can freely change the cutting angle by sharpening the micro bevel.
This is my second LN plane (the first being the LN Low Angle Block Plane) and it definitely won't be my last!
