Strengths and benefits
- Balanced, comfortable and ready for everyday use, the Rider No. 60 ½ Low Angle Block Plane is the compact, bevel‑up plane you’ll reach for time and again. Designed for one‑handed control, it feels naturally weighted and steady, making it ideal for fine trimming, fitting tasks and clean end‑grain work. Its 3.2 mm thick blade adds welcome mass, reducing chatter and giving the plane the stability needed for a crisp final finish.
- Developed in the UK with input from professional woodworkers, every detail has been shaped with ergonomics in mind. The angled thumb rest and smoothly domed cap sit comfortably in the hand, helping you work with precision and less fatigue. Made from tough ductile iron, the body offers a reassuringly solid feel and keeps its accuracy over years of use, perfect for both workshop projects and on‑site jobs.
- The blade is cryogenically hardened M2 high‑speed steel (HSS), chosen for durability, edge retention and clean cutting across a wide range of timbers, even difficult or interlocked grain. The blade’s chamfered edges mimic the profile of a honing‑guide fit, giving you a more secure grip during adjustments and helping prevent slipping.
- A stainless‑steel Norris‑style adjuster and hand wheel provide smooth, precise control over depth and alignment while resisting corrosion for long‑lasting reliability. The adjustable mouth shifts quickly between heavier cuts and delicate finishing passes, giving you a plane that adapts easily to the task at hand.
- A modern refresh of a classic design, the Rider No. 60 ½ is straightforward to set up, intuitive to adjust and deeply satisfying to use - everything a dependable block plane should be.
