About this block plane

The Luban Block Plane – 20° Low Angle is designed for woodworkers who demand clean results, fine control, and dependable build quality. Its low-angle configuration makes it especially effective on end grain and dense hardwoods, where standard planes often struggle to deliver a clean finish.

Compact and well-balanced, this plane is ideal for precise trimming, final fitting, and surface refinement. It is a versatile bench companion for furniture makers, cabinetmakers, and serious hobbyists who rely on accuracy at every stage of a project.

Performance & use cases

The defining feature of this block plane is its 20° low-angle bed, which allows the blade to shear through wood fibers rather than scrape them. This results in smoother cuts with reduced tear-out, particularly when working on end grain or reversing grain patterns. Each pass feels controlled and predictable, even on challenging materials.

The adjustable mouth adds flexibility to your workflow. Tighten the mouth for whisper-thin finishing shavings when refining joints or final surfaces, or open it slightly for faster material removal during fitting and adjustment. This adaptability makes the plane suitable for a wide range of tasks without changing tools.

In woodworking workshops across the UAE, this block plane is commonly used for refining miters, leveling tenon shoulders, trimming small components, and finishing joinery before assembly. Its compact footprint makes it easy to maneuver on small parts or assembled pieces, where larger planes would be impractical.

How to use (quick guide)

• Ensure the blade is sharp and properly seated before use
• Adjust the mouth opening based on the desired shaving thickness
• Set the blade for a fine, even cut to start
• Work with controlled strokes, especially on end grain
• Check progress frequently to maintain accuracy
