Block Plane Honing Angle at Adam Opal blog

Block Plane Honing Angle. As the blade is being sharpened, a burr develops and can be removed later with a few side. You can easily grind and hone a 15 ° bevel on the blade and then put a 10 ° back bevel on the face of the blade (as shown in the top drawing at right). Without checking i think the low angle block. However, with a little experimentation, you may find that making some adjustments to the geometry helps overcome challenges presented by both difficult wood and less than perfect plane irons. Low angle block planes have the blade set at a lower angle to the sole, typically 12°, while standard angle block planes have the blade set at a higher angle, usually 20°. Use a screwdriver to tighten the guide’s screw; After the blade is flat, use a honing guide to make sure that the blade is sharpened at a 25° angle. Otherwise it might not maintain the angle you set. Wrapping up, the vast majority of both bench and block planes can be sharpened with a 25º bevel angle. If you reduce the honing angle below 25° you. For a 12° block plane, a 30° honing angle forms a somewhat 'sharper' 42° cutting angle. (note that the bedding angle—not to be confused with the bevel angle of the iron—is the angle at which the iron sits in the carriage of the plane.) Check the angle by eye, and follow up with a few quick pull strokes over a fine grit to ensure the beveled edge makes full contact with the sandpaper. To sharpen the iron, use a honing guide to hold it at a consistent angle—typically 25 degrees. The blade is the most critical component of a block plane, and it is essential to keep it sharp at all times.
