    • 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

    • Excellent quality!
Color: Gray
This very affordable bock pane with low angle iron makes a great investment for planing end grain. The sole and body seem cleanly manufactured. Although I will need to clean up a few metal tags in the throat area. The blade is pretty close to being ready to use out of the box. A little honing and flattening the sole it all that are really needed. Next time, though, I will get the one with the adjustable throat. But this one still works as a nice small plane. ... 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

    • Can't beat it for the price...
Color: Gray
Very happy, this is a great plane for an awesome price. I sharpened the blade with a cheap sharpening stone, then adjusted the blade in the base until it was taking the desired cut depth, and then I shaved a rubbing spot on an interior door with no problem. Nice even shavings, easy to use, couldn't be happier. Was worried it wouldn't work well since the price was so low, but this thing rocks. This is my first time using a hand plane (just watched some youtube videos for tips) and couldn't be happier. ... 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

    • Decent plane - takes some time to adjust. Not for quality finish work.
Color: Gray
I need to use a plane about once every 5 years or so. Finally decided to trim a sticking wood door. Naturally I can't find my plane since no one will admit to ever seeing it much less using it. So now I need a replacement. Not going to go for an expensive every-day plane, but do want one that is half-way decent and will do the job. This one fits the bill, although i will say to set it up and keep it set is no small task. Those without patience will say it is downright aggravating. If this is you, go for a higher quality nore expensive (like 2X to 3X in price) plane. Me, I will put up with a bit of aggravation for the light work I do. ... show more

    • This plane works fine for shaving doors
Color: Gray
I had several sticky doors in the house I recently moved in to. I ordered this plane and fixed them all. As others have noted, the adjustment mechanism is crappy. However, once you get the blade about where you want it and lock it down, the plane functions fine. Also, what do you expect for a tool this cheap? ... show more
