Plane Type: Block
Model No: 110
A review of the old Stanley 110 block plane.
The Stanley block plane number 110 is a small, basic, general purpose
block plane for one handed use which is handy to have in the tool-bag.
The Stanley 110 plane has a pierced lever cap with a curved dome top. The
lever caps' locking wheel has four large circular holes punched through
it and a slightly knurled outer edge.
The 110 has an inexpensive price tag and is useful for end-grain and
finishing work.
Unlike many other Stanley block plane models this plane has no fine
blade adjustment mechanisms such as the blade depth adjuster or lateral
adjuster.
The blade is adjusted by manually setting the blade in the desired position
and then locking the blade in place by securing the lever cap.
The Stanley 110 plane is good to use providing fine blade
adjustments aren't regularly needed and providing you are happy to
manually set the blade in position when required.
It is because of this simplicity the plane is at a budget price and it is because of this
budget price that the Stanley 110 model has found its way into so many peoples tool-boxes.
It is also for these reasons that the Stanley 110 block plane has enjoyed
a very, very long production period.
The current Stanley 110 block plane has a red lever cap.
