5 out of 5 stars Stanley Block Plane   April 1, 2010

A really nice moderately priced block plane. Once set up the fine edge preforms in a really excellent manner and is a good value. Had to true the sole, file the mouth adjustment to allow closer tolerance, and of course, sharpen the iron. When complete, this plane works quite well. The 1/8" iron and approximately 2lb overall weight makes this plane a rock-solid performer.
Don't let the pre-use adjustments discourage you. It is a necessity for all but the most expensive of planes.
Great job, Stanley. Keep 'em coming!

I've trued a few doors and done some small projects with it and it works fine. I thought it was a little difficult to set up. Once you have it where you want it, don't mess with it. Not for large or serious projects.

I worked it so that I can see my reflection in the bottom and it does a remarkably good job for such an inexpensive plane. I was able to plane both across and even with the grain of some Cherry to the point that it didn't even need to be sanded. Good weight on it too for such a little thing. I liked that.

I bought this plane simply for trimming edges to fit when I screwed up a cut. It does this fantastically...And much more than it was ever made to do.

I recently found a sawmill that sells rough white oak for $2 a boardfoot. Nifty price, big pain, as I have no large hand plane or electric planer. I picked up 50 bdft in widths of around 24".

I planed all 50 feet using this little plane. Took some time (about 30 hours with tons of sweat and some very sore hands), but with the proper edge on the blade, I didn't even need to sand the wood after building. It was all done. ;)

To get the perfect edge to make this tiny plane a perfect finishing machine (throw away your power sanders!), visit http://www.shavings.net/SCARY.HTM.

As for construction of this plane...It's solid. I've dropped it many times onto a concrete floor with no damage at all. It's a trooper of a plane.
