  • Nice plane for the price
Yes, this plane arrived with a lot of work to be done to get the most potential out of it. It has grinding marks on the shoe, sides and blade that all have to be removed. What do you want for $50? After a couple of hours with 60 grit paper and my flat granite block, I was ready for the blade sharpening and honing. The blade actually took the sharpening very well. It took me another hour to get the face lapped and a sharp edge on blade. Was the work worth it? Absolutely YES! The plane is cutting curly maple with very nice, thin curls! A very nice feature on this plane is the replacement of the standard single lever for adjusting the blade angle, with two (2) knurled knobs. It did not take me long to start liking this plane over my others, just because the knobs allowed me to adjust the angle much quicker than using my planes with the single lever. The knobs also control the depth of cut, which I find much easier to set, then messing with the single knob adjustment on my other Stanleys. If you are new to planes, you might find these two (2) knobs easier than the standard single lever/knob combination. This plane is a great value, if you are willing to put the work into making it sharp! If you don't know how to sharpen blades and tune-up planes, then this is NOT the plane for you. You might want to invest in a good book on planes (like: The Handplane Book ) before purchasing an in-expensive plane like this. There is nothing like the feeling of a well tuned plane on a nice piece of beautiful wood! ... show more

  • It's a decent plane
This was my first bench plane purchase. I used it to hand plane my giant hunk of glued oak planks for my desktop. I was originally using a cheap block plane, but that cheap plane sucked. As this was my first bench plane, I can't really compare it to other planes. In regards to its cutting ability, it can cut pretty well. I wasn't able to get it to cut super thin ribbons, though, but that might just be because of my lack of experience. The grip is reasonably comfortable. I did tear out a little bit of wood and left some marks with this, but that is also most likely due to my lack of experience. The plane isn't very good when it comes to going over the wood knot thingies in pine (the things that are really hard, seem to be scented, and seem determined to make your job as difficult as possible). I can't complain about the effectiveness of a product if it's due to my own poor technique. My main complaints are the mold seam thingamabob (the handle is plastic, but the base is metal) that was on the rear handle and the play in the adjustment screw. The mold seam really began to irritate my hand after a little while of planing, so I eventually used a wood file to file the edge down. There's a mark where the seam edge thingamabob was, but it doesn't irritate my hand anymore. The play in the adjustment screw isn't going to loosen the adjustment, but it does make it so that you have to tighten/loosen the adjusting screw a little before there is any effect on the depth of the plane. I haven't gotten around to the initial flattening of the bottom (and probably won't anytime soon), but it seemed to be fairly flat when I received it. The blade that came with it has a flat front (it's sharp, I just mean that the edges are at 90 degrees), so I added a little bit of a curve to it myself, to try to reduce the little tracking canyons I ended up leaving because I probably had the plane set a little too deep. In short, I would recommend this plane, although the handle mold seam edge may have to be filed down. ... show more

  • Iconic tool of the late 19th and early 20th century.
There was a time when this, the Stanley No.5 bench plane, usually referred to as a "jack" plane for jack-of-all-trades because it can do a lot of the jobs that different bench planes do reasonably well, was one of the first ten hand tools a budding American handyman learned how to use. That time has passed in the USA. We now live in a country where the Big Orange Retail Giant and its big blue counterpart sells all of its non-construction-lumber as "S4S," surfaced on all four sides. The jack plane's unmatched versatility in dealing with rough-cut lumber is almost completely unnecessary today for a new handyman. The two planes a new handyman needs are a block plane and a No. 4 smoothing plane. The block plane is a small handheld plane that will take care of most of the minor issues you might need in shaving end grain and making sure that assembled and glued joint surfaces are flush. The No. 4 smoothing plane is good for making sure wood that is already smooth and level is a bit smoother. In a pinch it can do slightly heavier work and level out a minor defect in the S4S wood you can buy at the BORG or Big Blue. That being said, if you're looking to buy this iconic plane for other reasons, you probably know plenty about woodworking and have heard of its legacy before. If not, do a search on jack planes. You'll hopefully learn among other things that you will need to "tune" planes, prepare them for use according to your own work habits, and sharpen their blades before use. This No. 5 plane will not perform well and you may damage it if you use it without tuning and sharpening it. This is the mid-range standard jack plane in woodworking. There are plenty that are cheaper and less useful, and there are a few that are much more expensive and better, but this is the standard plane and it performs better than most. It perhaps does not perform as well as older Stanley No. 5 planes. There is some argument about that in woodworking circles. Many prefer the performance of low-angle jack planes to standard jack planes. You may or may not. I received mine with no significant defects. Two hours of tuning got it ready for work. Very happy with my new No. 5 jack plane. Saying that this is a good tool, in woodworking circles, is kind of like stating that the sky is blue. ... show more

  • Handle broke on first use.
The plastic handle fractured at the front screw the first time I went to use it after spending a couple hours flattening and sharpening the iron. Not too happy with that. Replacement handle is $30 and it was a CPOS to begin with, having a prominent seam from the injection mold that hadn't been removed. ... show more
