The picture shows a smooth plane with no grinding marks, they are there and deep. I spent a lot of time soothing out the sole and sides. It is not quite square. If you are a little bit picky about your work spend another $100.00 and get a good plane. I needed when I got it or I needed it when I got it or I would have sent it back.

So, this is a regular 60 ¼, but not well made. The casting is not well finished, and it needs a lot of filing, flattening, smoothing, and everything you can throw at it. First, the bottom is not surface ground; it was done on a belt sander with 40 grit. A green banana is flatter than the bottom of one of these things. What was most annoying was that there was a precipitous dip all around the mouth. It was so bad that I had to first belt send the bottom. I wish I had a surface grinder; that would have made it quicker. There was a crud under the adjustable mouth. It took me hours to get it flat, starting on a 60-grit belt and then moving through the grits to a 1000-grit Waterstone. The bed is also far from a flat. I had to file it flat; all the edges are rough and have burrs. The back of the blade was not horrible, but it was convex, so it was harder to flatten. Overall, it took a better part of the evening, about 4 hours, to flatten, smooth, sharpen, and deburr everything. Now it is a good, reliable 60 ¼ like the old ones that were given proper treatment at the factory. Is it worth the price? Well, it is if you like to restore planes, not if you have no clue how to do it. If you did it, get a Lie Nielsen or Veritas and just use it.

This is a sad product from a once great company in building wood planes. The frog is out of alignment so there is no way to "square" the blade to the surface of the wood and the bottom is so far from flat there is no way I am going to waste my time trying to level it. The mouth is also 5-10 degrees out of perpendicular to the sides. I started trying to flatten the bottom until I realized that the mouth was out of square and so was the frog and gave up.Total waste of money. Going back to WoodRiver from now on.

The sole needed flattening (a lot of it), but the blade was pretty sharp out of the package. You get what you pay for, and then some.

Purchased this to use in making a few cigar box guitars for family and friend. Arrived quickly and well packaged. While the base seemed flat and true and the blade reasonably though not highly finished I used 400/800/1000/2000 wet/dry paper attached to a dead flat surface to polish the base and remove grinding/tempering marks on the blade. I then sharpened the blade to a genuine razors edge. This little hand plane has been easy to use and adjust and seems perfect for squaring & truing the neck blanks & fretboards. Certainly recommend this Stanley hand plane to others who want a small hand planer.

If you buy 2 you can make yourself a rocking chair... Center of the sole was proud enough to allow it to rock on my float glass. Wish I returned it before I even attempted to fix it.Sole is also in ROUGH shape when you get it. Looks like they held the thing on a belt sander with 40 grit to true it up.Better off spending a bit more instead of spending days to work the issues out of this one.

Very nice plane, good size. Adjustable throat and blade depth. Sleeve case nice to store it, or can slide on your belt.

I have one from about 30 years ago and bought this new one as a gift. Comparing them, the fit and finish on the newer plane is rougher than on the older model. However, that is mostly a cosmetic issue. It does seem to work as well as the older model.

En utilisant l'outil pour la première fois, je n'ai pas compris le rôle de la plaque de règlage à l'avant de l'outil.. Pour l'ajuster, il faut deserrer le repose doigt. Le piège pour le nouvel utilisateur est que le rabot est livré avec la plaque de règlage en position pleinement arrière. Par conséquence, lorsque la lame est avancée au maximum, la "lumière" se ferme totalement et la lame de descend pas en dessous de la semelle.J'ai cru que le rabot était défectueux et je l'ai renvoyé. Le deuxième rabot étant identique , j'ai lu le guide utilisateur avec plus de soin. Il a fallu un peu de temps d'expérimentation pour comprendre qu'il fallait absolument avancer la plaque de réglage afin de pouvoir faire descendre la lame en dessous de la semelle.L'outil marche parfaitment maintenant.

La pialla ha la lama che non esce dalla bocca, sbatte sulla parte mobile della bocca anche quando è tutta aperta, prima ho pensato che dovesse essere stata montata sottosopra magari per il trasporto, invece smontando e rimontando tutto correttamente non è cambiato nulla, la lama non può fuoriuscire e questo pezzo di metallo che pur sembra un bell'oggetto non può piallare in alcun modo.Ho notato anche che sul lato non è serigrafato il numero, che si tratti di articoli difettosi venduti su questo circuito tanto prima o poi ci sarà qualcuno che non li rende? Ovviamente l'articolo così com'è nin puó aver passato un collaudo, nemmeno meramente visivo.

It came faster than Amazon had said. I open the package and started looking at the block plane. 1st thing that stuck out was the adjustable shoe was not level with the plane body. I figured something must be stuck so I disassembled the shoe and couldn't find anything that would cause it to be proud of the body. The part nearest the blade was level, the part of the shoe farthest from the blade was not flush. And one side was more proud than the other.The grind on the bottom was rough, I'll need to work it smooth. The plane iron was sharp, but will also need to be honed so scary sharp. The actions of the adjustments are smooth. Could be a little smoother but that will come with being used. As of now I haven't used it, and I won't until I grind the shoe level with the sole. The grind on the iron is 21º but since my Worksharp only does 20º it'll get a shallow microbevel or I'll just change it to 20º.

Evidentemente no es un Stanley de los antiguos. La cuchilla es inglesa (o eso pone, pero no parece acero de Sheffield) y el resto es chino.Y el acabado es chino.Claro que para conseguir un cepillo de testa como los Stanley originales, tienes que pagar entre 2 y 3 veces lo que pagas por este.Con una hora de trabajo consigues tunearlo (hay excelentes videos en youtube "how to setup and tune a block plane") consiguiendo una herramienta de precisión y excelente corte.El filo aguantará menos que en un tope de gama, pero se trata de afilar más a menudo. Y siempre queda la opción de comprar una cuchilla de gran calidad (por ejemplo acero A2)Por el precio que tiene merece la pena.
