Any guesses on the angle of the plane blade? *PIC* () Warren in Lancaster, PA
I think the bed is between 40 and 50 degrees. It is somewhat deceptive because the top of the body of the plane is not flat. It is higher at the back than at the front.
Here are the dimensions of this plane:
Length 16 cm
Height 10.5 cm (includes tote)
Width 5.6 cm
Length of bed 10.2 cm
Width of mouth 4.5 cm
I would guess that the block is about 5 cm high at the front, 7 cm maybe 7.5 at the back.
