Rider No. 9 1/2 Standard Block Plane

Well made, the Rider version of the 9 1/2 plane has many excellent features. The main casting is ductile iron chosen for its high strength and impact resistance. It has an adjustable mouth for fine or coarser work. The plane features micro depth adjustment and lateral blade control to achieve the thinnest of shavings.

The No. 9 1/2 Standard Angle Block Plane has its blade seated at an angle of 20°. The blade is used bevel-up giving an ideal cutting angle of 45°, good for all sorts of planing jobs. The sole is 155 mm (6-1/8") long with a 41 mm (1.5/8") wide blade. The sole of the plane is flat and accurate to +/- 0.04 mm (0.0016"). Weighing only 950g (2lb), it is one of the most useful planes in the woodworker’s armoury.

Rider planes only require the bare minimum of initial preparation. Each blade is oil quenched, high carbon spring steel, hardened and tempered to HRC 63. We are confident that Rider planes represent a good standard and great value.
