5.0 out of 5 stars
little gem,

This review is from: Stanley 12-247 Block Plane (Tools & Home Improvement)
I saw this plane at Ace Hardware and thought, what the heck, I've always wanted a block plane. I had a $5 off coupon if I spent $15, and the plane was $17. Wasn't really expecting much from it. Got it home, tuned it up, slapped a board up on the bench and tried it out. Boy was I shocked, this little gem out planed a planer I spent three times as much on. I was amazed at the long smooth planing strokes across the full lengh of the board, with not a single chatter. I would definitly say I got my moneys worth.

Low Cost but Great Plane,

This review is from: Stanley 12-247 Block Plane (Tools & Home Improvement)
At $15, I didn't expect much from this plane. I bought it mostly as a "beater" plane that I could get banged up. Out of the box, the plane is horrible but after about 4 hours of fine tuning, it worked great. What took the longest was flattening the sole. The millmarks on the sole were deep and the sole was slightly concave.
I flattened the sole, the front of the cap (where it meets the blade), the bed, and the back of the plane blade. Then I sharpened the blade and put a microbevel on it. I waxed the sole and was ready to go. Now it works great. I never had a plane I had to put so much work into. Maybe I just got a bad one but I did get it to work fine in the end. Can't complain for $15.

Great little plane. For the price it's a charm. Just needed some fine tuning in the sharpening dept. and it has done a fantastic job in my shop. I even got rid of a large plane due to this little plane.
