Surform Metal Body Block Plane

Shape, smooth and trim materials with greater control using a 155mm Surform Metal Body Block Plane, a compact hand tool designed for quickly removing small amounts of material from timber, plasterboard and other suitable surfaces. Its practical design makes it particularly useful for woodworking, fitting and general DIY tasks where precise adjustments are required.

Unlike a traditional woodworking plane, a Surform block plane uses a perforated cutting blade to shave away material as the tool is pushed across the surface. This rasp-style action makes it useful for shaping edges, removing high spots and refining uneven surfaces without requiring the same cutting technique as a conventional plane.

The metal body construction provides a sturdy frame for controlled use, while the compact 155mm length makes the tool easy to manoeuvre around smaller workpieces, edges and confined areas. It is particularly convenient for making adjustments during fitting work, such as trimming timber components or smoothing rough edges before finishing.

A versatile addition to any toolbox, this Surform plane is suitable for carpenters, joiners, builders, plasterboard installers and DIY enthusiasts. It is especially useful for quick shaping and surface preparation tasks where a larger plane or power tool would be unnecessary.
