The Lie-Nielsen No.140 Skew Angle Block Plane With Nicker derives from the Stanley No. 140, which was taken out of production many years ago. It is a Block Plane with a skewed blade and a removable side plate to allow quick conversion from general planing to rabbeting. An adjustable fence makes it convenient for rabbeting and cross-grain work, such as fielding raised panels.
Because of the skew, there are times when the tool will be cutting against the grain in a rabbet. For this reason, Lie-Nielsen Toolworks offers both a left and right-hand version.
