Review on WoodRiver Low Angle Block Plane With Adjustable Mouth by Jeffrey Choudhury

Revainrating 3 out of 5

An all around nice block plane

Definitely a nice plane right out of the box. Looks fantastic. The sole was pretty much flat, only needed a tiny bit of work. The ONLY reason I'm not giving a full 5 stars has to do with the adjustable mouth. For some reason, it's lost adjustment a few times, causing the mouth to close against the blade during use. Otherwise, a nice little block plane overall.

Pros
  • Nice thin shavings after honing the blade. Really like the cam clamping action to lock the blade depth.
Cons
  • The blade needs frequent sharpening, which can be time-consuming and frustrating for some users
