  • I like it, cheap too
Style: No.5 Jack Plane
Works well, these boards were planed but after fitting table warped a bit. Did a good job leveling but it's also not perfect. It's not exactly flat and isn't wearing even as seen in the photo. The marks are wax but they're uneven with the rest of the plane. I'd buy a #6 if they sold one on Amazon from this brand though ... show more

  • Works with a little upfront work
Style: No.5 Jack Plane
I bought the #4 and #5. Both came fast, well packed and covered with oil. Both needed setup which is expected with any hand tool. Both soles needed some flattening, but the dips were where all cast planes have them. This is the most tedious part of setup. Mouth was clean, the chip breakers and cap iron needed 5 mins of flattening. The only negative I find is that the lever that advances/retracts the iron is sheet metal and has a lot of slop (backlash) in the adjusting screw to engage retracting. Every bench plane has some backlash, but this guy has two full turns of the screw before it starts moving backward. Also, I like to retract the iron pretty far above the sole when storing. There's not enough thread to move it a good 3/16" into the base. It bottoms out just barely...like .005" into the mouth & I prefer deeper. The frog on both planes came installed too far back...simple adjustment to move it to correct alignment. Keep in mind you'll have to take this thing completely apart and can't use it right out of the box. Probably going to buy the #3 too. I think the totes are a little small for my hands. ... show more

  • OK for the price if you have the skills to fix it
Style: No.5 Jack Plane
I bought this inexpensive No 5 plane on sale to make into a dedicated scrub plane. One critical flaw that could be a problem for some buyers: On mine the frog adjustment screw interfered with the frog. The flange of the screw head registers in a slot on the bottom of the frog. The tab on the frog that makes up the back of that slot hits the smaller diameter of the screw head before the machined face on the bottom of the frog makes contact with the spot-faced lands on the body. I had to machine a clearance in the tab so that the frog would properly mate to the body of the plane. The frog is pot metal, so this repair could be done with other tools or even just hack sawing the tab shorter. Other minor notes: -Decently flat -1 side square to the base. The other side slightly off of square, but very minor compared to some other reviewers. -Handle is the same height as my vintage craftsman no5, but the base and horn are thicker, so my hand doesn’t fit in the S&J as well. I don’t wrap my picky around on the S&J. -The frog needed a file taken to most edges too take off burrs. -The frog adjustment screw needed its flange deburred with a file. -Some over-paint needed to be scraped off of the machined areas so that the frog could make solid contact with the body (in addition to the repair mentioned above). ... show more

  • Great value for price!

  • For the price it's good but needs lots of tuning
Style: No.5 Jack Plane
After tuning it up it takes a good shaving. Had to flatten, sharpen and polish the iron and the bottom (still a few hallow spots left but usable) the sides are not very square to the bottom so not sure if shooting will be very useful but for the price it works.

  • Calibration issues
Style: No.5 Jack Plane
Like the plane but had a hard time adjusting iron depth as control had a lot of contact issues between pushing it forward or retracting the blade.

  • Needs a lot of work to be put into shape.
Style: No.5 Jack Plane
The two main issues were a huge hollow in the base of the plane in the tail and the squareness of the sides. I worked on it for 3 hours with sandpaper on a flat plate and still have a hollow in the base. The 2nd main issue is that the sides are not square to the bottom which took another 2 hours to flatten and square. The shoe and iron were pretty good, though the upper part of the iron was shaped more like a cup than a plate, but the lower section was fine. The grind on the iron was ok, but I did adjust the angle and the angle of the chip breaker to get everything working right. If you have the means and the time (a full day for me), the plane can be put in good working order. ... show more
