Extra Info: What is a Block Plane? Block Plane Videos
Manufacturer: WS
Plane Type: Block
Model No: A130
The WS block plane number A130 is a double ended block plane with
a wooden front knob.
The WS double-end block plane was 'Made In England'.
The blade depth is adjusted by manually setting the blade in the desired
position and then locking the blade in place by securing the lever cap.
The curvacious lever cap secures the blade by turning the adjuster wheel underneath
the lever cap.
The WS A130 is very similar to the Stanley 130
and Record 0130
double ended block planes.
At a glance and even on closer inspection the WS A130 looks almost
identical to the Record 0110 block plane, the only real difference is
the plane markings and the appearance of the wooden front knob.
The WS A130 plane was originally supplied in a cardboard box.

"Just stumbled across your website and an absolute treasure trove of information.
I was recently given an old Stanley 110 block plane and wanted to know more about it.
Your website told me everything I needed to know.
But there is so much more to read. I forsee me spending a lot of time just reading
page after page. I can appreciate how much time this will have taken to put together.
I just wanted to let you know that your hard work is appreciated."
