3.0 out of 5 stars Inexpensive, but you'll need to spend time tuning this tool, May 28, 2008

I do not use a spokeshave very often, so I was looking for an inexpensive tool that would get the job done. The Stanley Spokeshave was a good choice though I was surprised that the tool arrived in such a poor state. I didn't expect the blade to be sharp, but I did expect it to be flat. It wasn't. Had to spend time flattening the bowed blade and then spend time grinding and polishing the sole of the tool to insure that it was also flat. If your looking for an inexpensive tool and have an hour to tune it up, this would be a good choice. Tool worked great after tuning.

The Stanley 12-951 Contractor Grade Spokeshave is a good first spokeshave. It is easy to fine tune and easy to use. I was a bit disappointed in the sharpening of the blade and it had a rough sole plate, but with a little bit of work it is a nice piece. If you are looking to do your first work with a spokeshave and don't want to spend a lot of money on it, this is the tool for you.

I found this product very useful in the preliminary stages of guitar neck shaping, it did a good job in the roughing in of the shape, and I also found it good for shaping the guitar body as well.
