    • I changed my mind!
Color: Gray
I CHANGED MY MIND! I originally gave this 2 stars because it lacks a depth adjustment. But since then I have studied a lot about using hand tools, and I learned about using a mallet or small hammer to adjust the depth on wood-body hand planes. That technique works perfectly here (at least for extending and straightening the blade with taps to the back of the iron)! I can dial this in to take a VERY fine cut and it works beautifully. The blade holds an edge reasonably well and I use it all the time. My favorite use so far is to clean the machining (jointer, planer, or table saw) marks off of the edge of a board. I've used it particularly for my homemade edge banding for plywood. I just set the depth of cut to barely take a paper-thin shaving and I can use this like an eraser to wipe away the little burn marks and ripples from the saw blade. I love it! That said, perhaps the 12-220 model is still a better choice. But I haven't used that, so I can't say for sure. But for the price I will happily give this 5 stars. Original review follows, just for reference: ------------------------------------------------ I was just getting into hand planes and decided to order a basic block plane to get me started. I saw this and the 12-220 and to my uneducated eyes they seemed to be basically the same thing. So I ordered this one as it was about $5 cheaper. BIG mistake. The 12-220 has a depth adjustment knob. This one doesn't. You have to loosen the blade/iron tension knob and manually set both the depth and angle, then tighten it again without messing up that adjustment. Spend the extra few bucks (actually as I'm writing this they are now the same price, within pennies) and get the better one. The sole needed to be flattened and the iron needed to be sharpened, but that should always be expected at this price. ... show more

    • Takes some time to fine tune

Just started wood working a few months ago and wanted a simple hand plane to play with. This doesn't have lateral or mouth adjustment and is probably as simple as hand planes come. However it is of solid construction. Out of the package the sole is FAR from flat. It took about 3 hours of sanding to get it flat and remove the milling marks. I'm a firm believer in you get what you pay for. But hey, $17 and a few spare hours of work is not bad by any means. I'm sure that it will last quite a long time. After honing the blade razor sharp it produces some good ribbons. I have yet to see how well the blade holds an edge but after market blades seem easy to come by. ... show more

    • Small, useful, and at a GREAT price!
Color: Gray
Great planer, great price. Used this little gem to get a set of french doors to open and close it was great! Smooth edge from the extremely sharp blade that comes with this device. Setting the depth is fairly easy - just make sure you don't try to take too much off at once, this is a SMALL planer - but that's the beauty of it! ... show more

    • How to USE and Set Up Very Important
Color: Gray
I received mine today and it was Red , not a Problem . Was surprised that it was all Cast Iron , shows me Quality . I do believe that it would cut right out of the Box . I like my Tools to be Oil free as not to Contaminate the Wood when using . After I cleaned it with Denatured Alcohol I used it on a Ceramic Stone just to fine tune it . Put it together adjusted it and used it on Walnut Wood . I think they call the sound of the Cut as ( Singing ) , and it did . I am an 88 yr. Old Wood Carver and now doing a few canes from Walnut , this little Plane does the Job. This Little Plane is NOT for Planing Doors , it's for Small Work , like breaking Edges and Narrow Pieces . After reading the Reviews I was expecting a Plane that I was going to need to return , not necessary . Read , Follow and Understand the Instruction . " Happy Woodcarver" ... show more

    • Disappointed
Color: Gray
Absolutely hate the set screw to hold the iron. It is such a pain to set up. You screw it tight enough to hold and not slip and it just wants to turn the iron. Or you don't tighten enough and it slips back during cutting.. Wish it had an angle adjust so you could just tighten without worrying about it. It works if you take the time, but not worth the hassle to me. ... show more

    • Not amazing, but if you don't need it much, it gets the job done
Color: Gray
I had to plane off the lip of a countertop that hung too far down for a dishwasher. This got the job done without much hassle. I'd rather use my plug-in power planar any day of the week, but there wasn't enough room without removing the whole dishwasher. However, if you're trying to do some serious woodworking, I would spend the money on a better tool. Not to say that this tool feels cheaply made -- it's pretty solid metal. Just that I don't expect it to be as versatile as some of the better ones out there. But, at this price, I can't complain. Probably perfect for an occasional use, such as maybe a door that sticks. ... show more

    • Waste of money
Color: Gray
Not smooth, difficult to set the blade depth, won’t stay in place, blade is soft and not sharp.

    • Needs some work out of the box
Color: Gray
The iron is plastic coated and the plane is coated in protective oil. No rust on anything when I got it. I sanded the bottom for about 45 minutes and still didn't get it completely flat. The sides were square to the bottom, but weren't flat enough to use smoothly without a lot of sanding. Blade steel is good and holds an edge well. The iron's bevel was straight and consistent so it was easy to sharpen. It's the quality I expected for the price. ... show more
