Qiangsheng Luban Low Angle Block Plane with adjustable mouth

The Qiangsheng Luban Low Angle Block Plane has a low angle bed for the blade to allow clean cuts on end-grain. It also has an adjustable mouth to regulate aggressiveness in cutting. It can also be used to bevel or rounding board long edges quickly with one hand.

With a second blade honed at a higher angle, it can be used for smoothing surfaces just like a smaller No. 4. This is particularly handy if you work with small pieces.
