Great wood plane May 27, 2008
Jordan P. Towne (Los Angeles, CA)
fantastic quality wood plane. Don't buy a cheap one. You will regret it and it will cost you in labor hours later.
A very good value for the money. May 23, 2008
L. F. Smith (E. Wenatchee, WA)
This plane is a very good value for the money. It is NOT a hand-crafted, artisan-quality plane, like a Lie-Nielsen, but, then again, it doesn't cost a couple of hundred dollars, either. In my view, I got a lot for the money I spent on it.
Many of the other reviews say that you'll need to do considerable tuning work before it can be used. That wasn't my experience. I found it to be fully functional right out of the package. All I had to do was fiddle with the adjustments a little to correct the jostling it got in shipping, and it worked very well.
I did take it apart and tune the blade by honing the bevel and flattening the back. It gives me a very long, clean shaving on most woods, but, in reality, it did almost as well before the tuning.
In summary, I think I got all that I paid for-- and a lot more. I can't complain a bit. I'm happy I bought it, and I'd do so again without hesitation.
