Block Plane Cutting Angle at Lupe Hyatt blog

Block Plane Cutting Angle. While there is more to consider in edge geometry than just the angle of cut (i.e., durability), you could reasonably sharpen the bevel on the iron of a low angle block plane iron to 33 degrees. Most block planes have a lower cutting angle, whether wood or metal, to make them appropriate for cutting the wood’s end grain. The blade has a fi nely ground bevel of 25°. Given its 12º bed angle, you would end up with an angle of cut of 45 degrees (12º+33º=45º), the same as on a standard angle plane. For curved scribe lines, skew the plane at a steep angle. (for a block plane, the angle of the cutting edge to the work equals the bedding angle plus the iron's bevel angle.) Make sure to use a sharp blade for fine shavings and smooth cuts. Even so, a block plane's cutting edge meets the wood at about the same angle as a bench plane's. When planing, position the plane at a slight angle and work with the wood grain to prevent tearing or splintering. (see the cutting edges comparison illustration below.) that's because the bevel on the block plane's iron faces up. Since the blade is used bevel up, if we put a standard 25 ° bevel on the blade, we will end up with a cutting angle of 45°. For miter joints, use a sharp block plane from the short side to the long side.
