  • Great Value, and yes needs an hour or two
Style: No.5 Jack Plane
Feels good. Working well after honing all the mating surfaces. The blade didn’t require that much. If you want an out of box ready to go planer buy electric. Even at 10x the price you’ll eventually need to tune it.

  • 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

  • humbled plane snob.
Style: No.5 Jack Plane
I will admit i had very low expectations for this. Youtube woodworkers have jaded me to only valuing a plane if its an 1800 stanley. or priced in the $300 range. This was a gift from my wife. and i fake smiled as i opened it. threw it on a shelf to rot. But when i couldn't find my $200 jack plane. I grabbed this POS. Boy was i wrong. It cuts like a dream. sharp and true out of the box. I made no adjustments before. and it gave consistent even thin paper like shavings. and kept performing. Pine, cedar, like butter. Walnut, maple (curly even) smooth as silk with no chatter on the curly. I'm impressed. if you guys wanna hook me up with a whole set. I'll gladly preach your sermon. well done ... show more

  • Great for the money, but you will need to tune it heavily
Style: No.5 Jack Plane
Expect to spend an hour or more overhauling this plane. The bottom of the casing is not flat, the fruit is not square to the mouth, and the blade is garbage. After you flatten the shoe and align the frog and get a decent blade in it, it’s great! The furniture is very comfortable. The adjustments, while not terrific, work fine. For the price, you could do worse. If you know how to set a new plane up, this is a fine option. Blade is garbage though. Chuck it. ... show more

  • Not bad for the price but expect to do a lot of work on it.
Style: No.5 Jack Plane
The plane is built solidly, but the sole on all of the Spear & Jackson planes I have bought have been nowhere near flat. When viewed from upside down, the heel and toe of the plane is significantly higher than the rest of the sole. The sides of the sole have also been higher than the center of the sole near the mouth. The machining on the frogs on the planes I bought was really rough and required some filing and sanding. The blade edges have not been square to the sides on any of the three Spear & Jacson planes I have. The primary bevel edges on the plane are very concave and not a true 25 degrees and were not cut straight on any of my planes, both of the edges protrude from the mouth farther than the center of the blade and the blade was not flat on any of the planes I bought. I had to sand the chip breaker on my number 4 and number 5 planes so they would rest flat on the blade and reduce clogging. The blades need sharpening quite often as well. The depth adjustment on my number 4 and 5 planes is terrible, the yoke is too small for the depth adjustment knob so I have to make three to four full turns to engage the blade. I've actually had to buy a yoke for my number four since the one I got was junk, my number 5 is a little better. To make matters worse it can slip out of adjustment on all three of my Spear & Jackson planes once in a while, which starts the headache all over again. On the more positive side, once I did all of that work, I have been able to take consistent shavings as thin as 0.005 inch, but that is only with a very sharp blade. If you don't mind putting in the work, and figuring out how to troubleshoot problems, it can be a great plane. I really wish they would spend a little more time machining the parts smoother and fitting the parts to each other more carefully. They really need to work on their blades and/or use higher quality steel and find a better way to cut the primary bevel. ... show more

  • Fantastic for the price!
Style: No.5 Jack Plane
I wasn't buying this expecting the perfect plane. With that being said, I'm very happy with it. The weight feels nice and the milling looks good. What impressed me the most is how little it took to get it dialed in. Manufacturers don't often surface planes and chisels after heat treatment and to be expected that you'll have to flatten out the bottom and re profile the blade. I had it to a point that I was happy with it in ten maybe twenty minutes. If you're looking to get into finer woodworking this no 5 jack plane won't let you down. ... show more

Couldn’t be happier! Open the box, set the blade and started working on this piece of Walnut. Outstanding plane for the price and very nicely built!
