Jorgensen 102 Block Plane Review [Woodworkers Institute]

A small block plane, sometimes called a trim plane, is one of the most useful tools you can have in the workshop. It's great for creating chamfers, easing sharp edges, and so much more. Randy Maxey provides an overview and shares his opinion of the Jorgensen No. 102 block plane.

Looks quite nice and the depth adjustment is an improvement over the classic planes. The iron looks nice and thick. And, well - a lot of hand planes need a bit of fussing for the side-to-side adjustment with a brass or even a small tack hammer. No big thing. I have Jorgensen clamps with the old wooden handles, and some new ones with the plastic handles. It's all good.

Very well presented mate, thank you. I'm fast becoming a big fan of little block planes. I'm a sucker for anything that fits nicely in an apron pocket.

thanks for the review! I picked up one of these a while ago but haven't gotten around to using it. What grit sand paper did you use to flatten the bottom of the plane? And what grit stone are you using for sharpening the blade?
