These Luban Low Angle Knuckle Cap Block Planes bring extremely fine craftsmanship to Stanley's design

Even more planes that owe their heritage to discontinued Stanley designs, the standard angle is based on the #18 and the low-angle is based on the #65 low-angle “knuckle cap” models – generally regarded as pinnacle designs. 

The base castings have been revised compared to the originals to strengthen historical weak points with improved blade bedding areas. The improved blade adjustment mechanisms provide simple and easy adjustment of the blades using the rear adjustment knob. The adjustable mouth is smooth to operate and allows for coarse to ultra-fine shavings.

Superior linishing across all Luban Planes makes the difference. Linishing is the term given to the belt-sanding process that ensures all plane surfaces are flat, dressing the plane surface before selling. If linishing marks are deep, which they are on so many of Luban’s competitors, then the plane surface simply isn’t flat.

Not a real knuckle joint plane. Lever cap and tightening screw. The plane is solid and well made but no lateral adjuster which really lowers the score. Melbourne Tool Company have the Norris style depth and lateral adjuster which would put this plane really good. Maybe an improvement for future models.

Excelent addition to my kit. a great little plane.

An excellent plane for those clean-up jobs - very clean cut, both along the grain and end grain and very comfortable fit in the had. A very solid build and excellent fine tuning for blade movement. I'm glad I bought it.
