Summary: This is no Lie-Nielsen plane
Comment: If you have some time and skill to fine tune this plane, it has the potential to be a useful tool. I was initially taken aback by how much refining the plane needed. I dont mean just honing. It comes with an edge that needs work before it can be honed to the point I would call it sharp. The other parts fit tightly, causing you to fight them just to make an adjustment. I expected better fit and finish. I like a plane, or any other tool to work smoothly, like it was passed down to you from your grandfather.
It isn't something that a little time and patience can't fix. And I suppose that you could make the argument that this fine tuning will make you more familar and thus more confident with this tool.
All in all, it's worth the price. Just plan on breaking it in.

Summary: For the money it is great with some tuning
Comment: Mine came without a flat bottom (so did my expensive Veritas). Flatten the bottom and sharpen and this is a fine block plane. Don't get me wrong - my Veritas is a much nicer tool with a much nicer blade but I keep this one adjusted differently and use it almost as much. In soft woods with a sharp blade the difference is not noticeable.

Summary: Bang for the Buck
Comment: With a little tuning this plane performs nicely. Sure you can buy much more expensive planes that will perform better out of the box but for the moderate user this plane is a great value. Trueing your plane only takes a little time and is well worth the effort. I'm sure those who have rated this tool poorly do not know how to tune a plane. The mechanism is not quite up to par with really expensive planes but with a little work can be made to perform within good limits. Microns do not necessarily good woodwork/furniture make...

Summary: Hand Plane
Comment: It works very well. I sometimes expect a smoother adjustment on hand planes.

Summary: Stanley ain't what it used to be
Comment: Bought it to throw into my helper's tool bag. Definetly not for precision work. Lock is flimsy, blade is thin, takes a lot of effort to set the blade depth to just where you want it. If you want a real block plane, go Veritas or Lie Nielsen!
