Lie-Nielsen No. 140 Skew Block Plane
This block plane is a derivative of the long unavailable Stanley 140. A block plane with an A2 cryogenically treated skewed blade and removable sidepiece for quick conversion into a rebating plane. Lie-Nielsen have added the further refinements of an adjustable side fence and lowered the blade angle to 20??. The side nicker scores the timber slightly ahead of the blade making this plane just as effective working both with and across the grain. 175mm(6.7/8") long by 47.5mm(1.7/8") wide and this fine manganese bronze casting weighs in at 900g(2lb).
