No.101 Mini Wood Planer - Mini Hand Planer for Woodworking

This is the CHEAPEST No. 101 Block Plane that you will find(outside of something 2nd hand MAYBE and even then). The blade is sharp out the box and with a quick hone and 2nd bevel, slices wood like butter. Nice finish on the tool and a nice flat bottom. You need to know that this is NOT made to flatten boards or doing anything crazy really, this is made for small work, detailing, quick little adjustments, chamfers, etc. There ARE other sizes that Jorgensen also offers if you need something that works harder or if you need something for end grain. Dollar for dollar Jorgensen tools do something different, pretty good quality and USEFULNESS out of something thats like 1/5th the price of some.

I didn’t expect much from something this small, but it honestly exceeded my expectations. I used this little hand planer to trim a door molding so it would sit flush with the frame, and it handled the job way better than I thought it would. For tight spaces where a regular planer feels bulky or awkward, this thing is perfect. The build quality is solid — all metal construction with a clean orange finish, and the blade feels sharp right out of the box. The compact size actually works in its favor, giving you a lot of control for precise trimming. You can see from the photos that it’s well put together, and even after use, everything still feels tight and durable. That said, it’s definitely not for large jobs. If you’re planning to remove a lot of material, this isn’t the tool for that. It’s more of a precision tool for small adjustments, edges, and detail work. Overall, I’d recommend this to anyone doing finish carpentry, DIY touch-ups, or small fixes around the house. If you need something compact, accurate, and reliable for light work, this is a great little tool to have.

Very small and works well where I need to flatten something but I can’t quite use a big plane. It’s easy to adjust and cuts well out of the box. No complaints from me.

This mini plane worked great once it’s sharpened. It came pretty sharp but not sharp enough for my liking. I appreciate how heavy this little plane is and how durable it’s made.

Out of the box this has been the best little hand plane I’ve come across. Super sharp, makes thin shavings, is lightweight but built heavy duty. Cuts through glue and hardwood effortlessly. The bottom was perfectly flat. It was incredibly easy to use as it was already dialed in right out of the box. It fits perfect in my hand that I can use my palm and a single finger to push it. I am by far no hand tool woodworker. I’ve been woodworking for almost a decade now but I mainly use power tools. I can just never seem to get any hand plane dialed in right. This was such a surprise and impressed me that right out of the box it cut perfectly. I honestly might buy a second one for when this one finally gets dull, as I don’t trust I’ll be able to sharpen and get it dialed back in as good as it is now lol.. 5 stars hands down, definitely recommend.

Really great little block plane!! Was really impressed by the construction of this little gem!! Used it right out the box without any alterations to the iron (although recommended), and the price was ideal!! It is quite small but it is perfect for the work I like to do….

This little planer is super handy and is amazing to use. It is perfect for taking off small hairline areas or for smoothing out a longer edge. The size is perfect for carrying in my toolkit. Comes super sharp! I had several old hand-me-down planers that I tried to use but often ended up butchering wood with. Not this planer. This planer is like a Ferrari compared to a Model T. So much better.

Bought this plane on a whim because it was on sale and I am quite pleased with it. It is very small and looks like a toy at first, but it is a serious, fully functional mini block plane. This will be good for tight spots and for 'breaking' the edges of boards. Built with the quality you expect from Jorgensen.

Excellent value for money. I was able to use the plane straight out of the box. Handy for small places

安かったので試しに購入した所驚きました。刃の質もよく、この価格帯の豆鉋で最もお勧めできます。

I've had the chance to use this a few times now and it works well. Out of the box it is sharp enough to work and it is well built. A handy mini plane for those smaller pieces.

I bought the JORGENSEN 3.5" mini wood plane for light touch-up work around the house—mainly trimming door edges and cleaning up small woodworking projects—and it’s done a solid job so far. Right out of the box, it felt well-made and sturdier than I expected at this price point. The blade was fairly sharp and only needed minor adjustment to get it just right. Once tuned, it produced smooth shavings and left a clean finish on soft and medium woods. This is not a tool meant for heavy-duty planing, so if you’re expecting to flatten large boards or remove a ton of material, this isn’t it. But for tight spaces or detail work, it’s perfect. I especially liked the compact size—it fits in the palm of your hand and gives you great control for delicate jobs. A couple of small drawbacks: the blade adjustment mechanism could be a bit more refined, and it took a few tries to get the depth exactly where I wanted it. Also, the grip isn't the most comfortable for extended use, but that’s expected with mini tools like this. Overall, it’s a great little tool to keep in the toolbox for quick fixes and fine-tuning. I wouldn’t rely on it for big tasks, but for small projects, it’s more than earned its place on my bench.

Très bon petit rabot
