Nice, but not great,
By Woody (Santa Cruz Mountains, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stanley 12-205 2-Inch x 14-Inch No 5 Jack Bench Plane (Tools & Home Improvement)
It's a good plane, but not amazing. I was disapointed to see that the mating surfaces between the frog and the sole are rough-cast and painted.It took a bit of grinding with a surface grinder to true-up the surface, and I had to replace the two screws/washers that hold the frog down with much stronger screws and washers so that they wouldn't deform as they were tightened. I'd recommend spending the time to REALLY sharpen the cutter before using it. And definitely spend some time getting it to work the way you want it on scrap wood until you are getting the results you want. The way mine came, I needed to do a bit of work before it would stop gouging deeply on the left-side. Would not produce a smoother surface if it was wider than the width of the plane. Now it works quite nicely, so just spend some time with it, and it will start to perform nicely. |
