A block plane has many other uses in woodworking. Typically, it is used for cleaning up components by removing thin shavings of wood in order to make a component fit within fine tolerances. Chamfering (angling square edges) and removing glue lines are some of the other uses woodworkers find for the block plane.Click to see full answer. Also, how do I choose a block plane?The most important features to look for in a good block plane include a flat sole, a reliable and easy-to-use depth-of-cut adjustment, and an adjustable throat. You’ll also want the tool to feel comfortable in your hand. Unlike most bench planes, the block plane blade is installed bevel up.One may also ask, how much does a hand planer cost? A decent new plane will cost $40 and up at the hardware store. In respect to this, what is the difference between a block plane and a bench plane? The difference is whether the bevel faces up or down. On bench planes, the bevel always faces down while on block planes, the bevel always faces up. The bevel angles mean that bench planes excel at cutting with the grain while block planes are good for cutting end grain or against the wood grain.What hand planes should I start with?When it comes to larger bench planes, I recommend either starting with a No. 5 (Jack) Plane (pictured right) or a No. 4 (smoother). These are the two most common models of planes you’ll be using anyways so it’s a good start.
