Stanley 12-247 Block Plane 2 X 6-5/8 Inches

Product Description

The STANLEY 12-247 is a compact block plane designed for trimming, chamfering, and smoothing wood surfaces. Measuring 2 inches wide by 6-5/8 inches in length, it is sized for one-handed operation and fits comfortably in a tool pouch or apron pocket. At 1.5 pounds, it delivers solid heft without fatigue during extended use. Block planes like this model are standard tools for carpenters, finish trimmers, cabinetmakers, and general contractors who need precise edge work and end-grain planing on the job site or in the shop.

The 12-247 is suited for residential and light commercial carpentry applications. Common tasks include trimming door bottoms, fitting cabinet faces, breaking sharp edges on lumber, and smoothing rough cuts before finish work. Its compact footprint makes it practical for tight spaces where a bench plane would be unwieldy. Finish carpenters and millwork installers will find it useful during door and window casing installation.

Key Features

• Compact 2 inches x 6-5/8 inches body sized for single-hand control
• Weighs 1.5 pounds for reduced hand fatigue during repetitive use
• Suitable for trimming, chamfering, and end-grain work
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard block plane for general carpentry and finish trim applications where a compact, one-handed planing tool is required.

Installation Notes

Block planes require no power source and are hand-operated tools. Before adjusting the blade depth or lateral position, ensure the locking lever cap is fully secured to prevent blade movement during use. Blade replacement or sharpening should be performed with the plane resting on a stable surface, and care should be taken to keep hands clear of the cutting edge at all times. This tool is intended for use by qualified carpenters and tradespeople familiar with hand tool safety practices.
