It's a very good plane, but I found it a bit bulky for my hand. I sold it and bought a LN 60 1/2, which is slightly narrower. I preferred the adjustments on the Veritas block though.

The Veritas low-angle block plane that I linked to does have an adjustable mouth.

...the one I picked up at Rycotewood didn't though, so I got hold of the wrong block
The one that I think your refering too though Paul, is still a bit bulky for my taste
Edit - had a look at the linky and it is the one I was thinking of - Rob

What is your budget?

Mick

 

[ceparkinson9]

i would perhaps spend up to £160

For that you can get a serious Block Plane.

Your best bet is to try as many as you can at the show. It must be comfortable in your hand and work like a dream. At that price you don't need to compromise.
