Block Plane Angle Sharpen at Brenda Langer blog

Block Plane Angle Sharpen. The standard bench plane has the blade bedded at 45°. When sharpening a plane, start with the blade at 30 degrees and end it at 20/25 degrees, this will ensure it has a slight camber to the bevel. The table below shows the three most common bench and block plane types and the proper angles at which to sharpen the irons. (for a block plane, the angle of the cutting edge to the work equals the bedding angle plus the iron's bevel angle.). Again for a bevel down plane, the blade approaches the wood at the frog angle. This plate generally requires the most work as it will be abrading away the previous dulled edge to form the new cutting edge. For many years now i've wondered about sharpening angle of a bevel down bench plane. 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°. Note also that with a 30° honing angle on a 20° block plane the actual cutting angle becomes 50°, a 5° difference from the cutting angle of a standard 45°. This just happens to be the same cutting angle that we have for a smoothing plane, which has a bed angle of 45 ° but where the blade is used.
