Jorgensen Block Plane Blade 60-1/2 3mm O1 Steel Replacement

Description

Product Overview

Designed for professional woodworkers and serious hobbyists, the Jorgensen NO.60-1/2 Block Plane Blade delivers the combination of precision, durability, and ease of use that is essential for fine planing tasks. Constructed from premium O1 tool steel with a carbon‑manganese alloy composition of 9CrWMn, the blade achieves a Rockwell hardness rating of 62‑64, ensuring long edge retention even under demanding conditions. At a thin 3 mm thickness, the blade fits the low‑angle adjustable mouth of the Jorgensen NO.60‑1/2 block plane, allowing you to set a shallow cutting depth for delicate shavings or a deeper cut for rapid material removal. The blade measures 6.18 × 2.17 × 0.67 inches and weighs just 3.52 ounces, making it lightweight enough to change quickly while maintaining the rigidity required for consistent performance. Its silver‑finished metal surface reduces glare and resists corrosion, extending the service life of the component. The blade is supplied as a single replacement part, ready to be installed without additional tools, and carries the UPC 044295707114 for easy inventory tracking. Whether you are shaping hardwood, softwood, plywood, or reclaimed timber, this blade provides a smooth, clean cut that minimizes tearout and reduces the need for secondary sanding.

Usage

This blade excels in a variety of realistic woodworking environments. In a workshop setting, it allows precise trimming of joinery, fine adjustment of door and window casings, and detailed shaping of decorative moldings. For cabinet makers, the thin profile enables tight clearance work on interior panels and intricate dovetail joints. Hobbyists will appreciate the ease of achieving fine shavings for model making, musical instrument crafting, and restoration projects where control over material removal is critical. The blade’s compatibility with the adjustable block plane means you can quickly modify the mouth opening to suit different grain directions, wood species, and cut depths, making it a versatile tool for both rough stock removal and delicate finishing passes. Its high hardness ensures the edge stays sharp through multiple sharpening cycles, reducing downtime and maintaining consistent results across long production runs.
