Great block plane
Item Package Quantity: 1 Color: Black
I'm a fan of Stanley wood planes; I've always gotten good products from them, but based on things I've read and other Amazon reviews there does appear to be some quality control issues at their factory(s). My advice is if you get one that is going to require hours of work to get "right" just send it back! The block plane I received was almost ready to use out of the box... it just needed to be sharpened (I don't expect any tool to come out of the factory all that sharp). The blade is manufactured in England (see picture), I'm not sure where the rest of the plane is manufactured because I threw away the packaging. The sole was almost perfectly flat, but had some sort of clear lacquer or paint on it which I removed... probably didn't need to, but I was worried about it gumming up. The grind on the sole and sides of the plane are a little rough looking, but that has zero impact on its function... as long as it's flat! Just FYI - there is no throat adjustor on this plane. ... show more

Decent entry level. Don't try to use out of the box. Takes a lot of work to setup and tune.
Item Package Quantity: 1 Color: Black
I'm fairly new to woodworking, been slowly moving from dimensional pine and cedar lumber to more hardwood custom pieces. Decided I was tired of going through loads of sand paper and it was time to get a planer. Now, I am not near ready to spend $100+ on a small block planer.. that just seems insane. I did a LOT of research and I know Stanley has a good name in the business and this seemed a decent entry level model. I knew I was going to have to do some fine tuning of the plane once I got it, but I was surprised by how much work I actually had to do to get this thing working smoothly. I watched a lot of videos and how to's on tuning up a plane. Most recommend using a flat surface like a pane of glass and various grits of sand paper, I specifically bought a $2 marble tile for this, flat as can be. To start with flattening the sole (bottom) of the plane and removing machining marks they recommend using ~120 grit. I went at it with 100grit back and forth for about an hour and still was not getting the nose or heel of the plane. After about 3 sheets I moved it up to 60 grit. Another 30mins and man I still hadn't touched the toe or heel of this thing, it must have looked like a banana from the factory. I finally gave up put it in a vice, made sure it was level, and got out the orbital sander with 180grit. Using consistent back and forth movement I was still not hitting the low spots. I bumped it up to 60grit and was finally able to get the whole sole a nice matte after another 20 or so minutes. Took it out of the vice, then went back to doing it by hand back to 100 grit, 140, 180, and finished at 320. Luckily this is pretty much only a 1 time tuning, but I was not really prepared for how much work it took. Put some paste wax on the sole to prevent rust and took a break. BTW..do this outside and wear a mask and gloves. The aluminum dust gets everywhere and can't be good for you. With the sole flat and smooth, i moved to the actual blade. This was easier but still took a fair amount or work. You will need a angle guide, you can find them for ~$25 on Amazon here. People say you can do it by feel.. but just get a guide it will save you a lot of headache. Once that was done and sharpened up to 800 grit (highest I have, people do much higher usually though and strop it) I re-assembled it and cut nice shavings. Then I used it to remove glue from a joint and level the matting surfaces. Took only a couple passes. Then used it to level out some misaligned end grain, which is where block planes shine. I had a bit of tear out on the pine, but that was my fault for not sandwiching the piece. So I'm sure the more expensive planes have their reasons for being more expensive like an adjustable mouth (hole that the blade protrudes from makes it so you can adjust how thick the shaving is somewhat) but this thing works for the basics. It just took a lot of elbow grease initially to grind it into shape. ... show more

Very Handy, Blade ready to use.
Item Package Quantity: 1 Color: Black
This low angle block plane is fantastic. I've used it for all sorts of projects, even the ones i didn't plan on using it in the first place. The blade i received with it was in great shape and ready to use, sharp out of the box...but it's a blade, and will require sharpening as all wood working tools do. The casting is in good shape too, smooth edges, etc. The low angle is great for going in any direction, and it's easy to control. Fits in the palm of my hand. Easy depth of cut adjustment. I'm a happy customer! ... show more

... it after using this Stanley plane as it's so superior and much easier to use
Item Package Quantity: 1 Color: Black
After previously using a cheap plane I would never go back to it after using this Stanley plane as it's so superior and much easier to use. It's solid, with a decently sharp blade straight out of the box and works really well as a smoothing plane, even on soft woods. I used it on pine and recycled Rimu to trim edges and smooth after cutting and it was excellent. Overall great value for money and I'm really happy with this plane ... show more

ABSOLUTE GARBAGE right out of the box
Item Package Quantity: 1 Color: Black
ABSOLUTE GARBAGE right out of the box. BUT!!!!!! with a little TLC it's not a half bad plane, especially for the money.. First thing I did was sharpen and flatten the blade. I went 1000, 6000, 8000 which put a razor sharp edge on the bevel. Next was on to takle the planes sole. I wasn't really expecting much being it was $20 but hey for 20 bucks you can get a real nice vintage on the bay so... I took a sharpie and drew a crisscross pattern on the sole and got to work, started with 80grit wet/dry , a little more 80 and even more 80 to get the rough machining out of the metal, it was NO WHERE near flat.. after about 30-45 mins of the 80 the the sharpie marks were nearly gone. I then went to 150 and then to 220. after another 20-30 mins I stepped up to 600grit to get a mirror finish on the sole. I then repeated the process on the sides. All in all 20 bucks and a couple hours of tuning and the plane is quite good. I didn't want to give it a full 4 stars but its not a 3 either, I'd rate this plane 3.75 stars after tuning. ... show more

Excellent Value
Item Package Quantity: 1 Color: Black
Solid, simple casting of sole and lever cap. The adjustment mechanics are pressed steel which can be expected at this price point. The mouth is fixed and does not adjust. I expected that a bit of "tuning" would be needed when I received the plane so no surprise there. The sole was not flat but after using some 220 grit and then some 1000 to finish, it was made flat and square in under 30 minutes. The iron was fairly sharp but not razor sharp. Sharpening was fast but a bit too easy. The iron felt "soft" when compared to my vintage planes. I suspect that it will not hold the edge well but only time will tell. At <1/2 the cost of a Lee Valley or Nielsen, it is well worth it even if you decide to replace the iron with a vintage one or higher quality one (Veritas iron is $35) at some point. I'd recommend this plane to all but the highest end users. **One note. If you look carefully, there are 2 different plane models on Amazon's page. On has a small front knob, the other does not. You will receive the one without the front knob. ... show more
