The minimalistic design makes it easy to disassemble for maintenance and reassemble for work. The adjustment knobs are accessible and feature a very smooth action. The blades depth of cut is adjusted by simply turning the depth and lateral adjustment wheel. Slide the adjustment wheel side to side to skew the blade left and right.

12 degree bed - The blade is set bevel-up in the milled plane bed at 12 degrees providing you with a very cool low angle of attack. Choose from a range of blade angles to suit the work at hand.

M2 High Speed Steel blades - MTC has chosen M2 High Speed Steel (HSS) for the blades. M2 HSS has high abrasion resistance which means it will hold a sharp edge much longer than many other steels. This also means that it may take a little longer to bring up an edge. Don’t worry, you will be leaving your sharpening gear on the shelf for a lot longer too. MTC plane blades are also thicker than the average plane, this eliminates vibration is the cut, ensuring a smooth uniform finish.

Easy and precise depth and lateral blade adjustment - The MTC Low Angle Jointing Plane features an easy to adjust, precise depth and lateral blade adjuster.

Good little plane.

Took a few adjustments and a blade sharpening to get it dialed in, but the plane is very good. Have used it on ash, white oak, and maple. By my experience the M2 blade holds an edge well.

Great plane, greatservice

Arrived before it was expected. Plane was as expected and after a quick sharpening cut very nice, thin shavings in some walnut and oak that can be problematic. Adjustements are tight but hopefully will loosen with use.

Excellent for the price

I've been using the block plane for a few months now, and I'm very impressed. Build quality is extremely solid - sole is flat, sides are square, mechanism functions perfectly. Fit and finish isn't as polished as a premium brand like Veritas, but much better than other budget options like (new) Stanley, Pony -Jorgensen, or spear and Jackson. There are some slightly rough edges here and there but I didn't have to do anything to it other than sharpen the iron to get excellent results. Only potential downside I can see is that the irons seem to be relatively soft - edge retention is okay, but doesn't seem much different from most O1 blades I've used.

All in all, I'd definitely buy this again, and I plan to buy a MTC low angle jack once I have the money to spare.

Ready to go out of the box

I read several reviews for both planes and finally decided to bite the bullet and purchase the set. I’m glad I did! I’ve been very pleased with the quality of workmanship and the fact that they were ready to use right out of the box.

Have not had time to use the plane yet but it seems to be very high quality and shape out of the box.
