Abstract

A block plane uses a standard utility knife blade mounted at about a 40° angle so the edge of the blade runs parallel to the side of the main body. The blade is set angled to the longitudinal axis of the plane. A snap on plastic grip holds extra blades inside. Cuts of ten thousands of an inch are made, and buying different thicknesses of the disposable blades varies the cut slightly. Most utility knife blades are about 0.025 inches thick.
