CRAFTSMAN LOW ANGLE BLOCK PLANE

This is the vintage Craftsman Low Angle Block Plane with an Adjustable Mouth, which corresponds to Model No. 619.3732 or 3732. Manufactured for Sears by Sargent, this tool is highly regarded as Craftsman’s equivalent to the iconic Stanley No. 65 block plane. Key Features & Design Low-Angle Performance: The blade is bedded at a shallow 12-degree angle, making it exceptional for cleanly slicing across tough wood fibers and end grain. Knuckle-Joint Lever Cap: Features a distinct, streamlined knuckle-style cap that snaps down tightly to lock the blade securely in place. Adjustable Mouth (Throat): The front teardrop-shaped lever controls a sliding toe plate on the sole. Closing the mouth tightly reduces wood tear-out on highly figured or difficult grain, while opening it allows for rapid, coarse material removal
