5.0 out of 5 stars Best Plane for the money, December 27, 2001

This review is from: Record 060-1/2 Low Angle Block Plane (Tools & Home Improvement)

I am a novice woodworker who can't justify at this moment in time a Lie-Nielsen or any of that type. I have found a real gem in this plane. I especially like the adjustable mouth that allows fine to coarse cutting. I am no expert, I just know this is one fine tool. I have planed pine, oak, and maple, with great results. As long as the blade is kept very sharp the results were a smooth finish. I found the blade to be well made. It takes little effort to hone, and holds an edge. I found the adjustments to be easy to use and the sole plate was right on the money. I may move up someday to a more meticulously machined plane, but for right now I am quite content with this one. In fact I am looking foreard to purchasing the Record 9 1/2.
