I bought this on a whim to see what a "new" Stanley plane is like. While my initial impression was somewhat dissapointing because of the plastic nob and tote. But, after lightly sharping and honing the blade I was supprised at how well the plane performs. The casting is suprisingly flat and 90* to the sides and the plastic handles are as comfortable as the original Bailey planes that I have. Two things that let you know that this is not an original Bailey plane is the larger mouth and the looser threads on the adjustment wheel, this doesn't effect the usability but is noticeable. For the money I believe this is a good value.

Previous reviews of this product made it obvious that the product from the manufacturer was of good quality, but a little effort was needed to get the smoothing plane into peak condition. About 15 minutes of sharpening was all it took to get my first edge to edge shaving on a scrap piece of wood.

The plastic knob and tote detract from an otherwise good tool. Okay for a hobbiest.
