Quangsheng Low Angle Block Plane (Type 3) Reviews

4.9 Rating 20 Reviews

One of our most popular tools, the Quangsheng low angle block plane is a really useful piece of kit. Block planes tend to be among the first tools that people buy, they are a staple of the basic toolkit for most types of woodworking.
Block planes are used for chamfering waste to eliminate breakout, tidying up the ends of boards after cutting to length, and fixing any slight inaccuracies from the earlier stages of production. The short sole makes them ideal for tidying up little patches of tearout and their relatively light weight means that after a while you almost use them without thinking.
Specifications:
Bronze cap and brass fittings
T10 iron hardened to RC60-63
Sole Dimensions: 6½" x 1¾" (165mm x 44mm)
Bedding angle: 12 degrees
Primary bevel: 25 degrees
Supplied as standard with the 25 degree iron

“I think that you get a lot of plane for your money. The quality and finish of the tool is excellent. When I sharpened the iron the back was perfectly flat and needed no " fettling " A good product at a sensible price.”

“First time using a block plane, I found this plane to be extremely flat and square to the sides. This checked using feeler gauges and engineers square. It has taken less than 5 mins to sharpen the blade and put a secondary bevel on it. The plane now take lovely thin shavings from an oak board. I do find adjusting the blade depth and square to the sole a bit fiddly but this could be normal as I have not used this type of plane before.”

“I'm only a novice woodworker trying to learn and anything I bought would have been an upgrade, but I am an engineer and this looks and feels wonderfully engineered and solid. The base of mine was nice and flat out of the box and, after a few minutes sharpening the blade with a diamond whetstone and leather strop, I achieved a nice, razor sharp edge and planing is now an absolute pleasure”

“Have you bought this plane yet? No? WTF is wrong with you? I got this lovely piece of kit recently, and I'm in love. It was 100% usable straight out the box. But because I love a bit of a fiddle, I fine-tuned the blade on a fine water stone. And I've had it in my hand a lot since (I've been fine-tuning a few pieces of wood) and it is addictively capable. For the money, this is easily a mile ahead of anything else. In fact, I'd say it's as good as anything at least twice the price, if not more. I will be investing in a few more Quangsheng tools asap.”
