    It is sharp but the cut needs to be adjusted.

    By|Jul 24, 2021

    It came assembled with blade in place. I did adjust it to make it a little less of a bite but it was easy and did a great job

    By|Nov 12, 2024

      Yes, but the blade needed a touch up.

      By|Mar 10, 2024

        Ready to go, no sharpening needed

              Position the blade and hold it in place with one hand, and tighten the retaining screw with the other hand. You’ll likely need to do this a few times before you get the blade straight + to desired height.

                In the accompanying photos you can see the 3 step process. Step 1 is to insert the small painted metal piece into the larger painted metal base until it rests on the silver colored rod...there is an indentation in the small piece that rests against the silver colored rod. Step 2 is to insert the silver colored blade between the small blue metal piece and the larger blue metal base. The key here is ito nsert the blade correctly...the angled edge imust face down toward the bottom of the base of the file (larger blue painted metal). Step 3 is to insert the tightening bolt. This bolt screws in to tighten down the blade. You can loosen the bolt to adjust the depth the blade will cut. When you get the right depth then tighten the bolt...use a screwdriver in the slot of the bolt to finish tightening.

                  While it does not specify it on the tool itself, after researching it, this tool is made in China.

                  No, the packaging states made in China.

                    Perfect size planer if you need to take a little bit off a small area and can't fit a larger in. I didnt realize they made them this small until I did a search and found it. There is mixed reviews on this which made me skeptical of buying, but I decided to try it out anyways and it worked great for me. I needed to shave off a little corner of some cabinets that I was installing and it was a breeze to use. In fact, I don't even know how the other reviewers had issues. It very handy and is my go to tool now if I run into areas that require the same and in my profession this tool saves the day.

                    I absolutely hate Buck Bros. However, this is a gem. I've always heard it called a 'finger plane" and mine is over twenty years old, used regularly and going strong. The body is actually aluminum and I've polished the sole of mine to a shiny mirror finish. I use this where most people would use a block plane - for making chamfers but I also use it regularly in conjunction with a spokeshave. I think this is quite complimentary to a spokeshave and I have both on my bench when making tool handles and the like.

                      Sharpen it and set the blade correctly...and you'll love it. I use mine every day in my sign making business, mostly to break sharp edges. You can set the blade nice and shallow to get super thin ribbons. I ground the cap a bit to allow the screw to go deeper too. Couldn't ask for more for this price.

                        I've never used a plane as small as this one, but I make wooden cross necklaces and wanted to see if this tiny hand plane would be a worthwhile addition to my tool lit... Since it is so small - everything counts. Blade depth and sharpness. It comes halfway sharpened, but not near good enough for precision work. The steel seems to be of good quality. After sharpening and polishing the edge - it worked pretty darned well. As a matter of fact, the next time I was in Home Depot I purchased a second unit to keep in my travel tool bag.

                        This should have been the perfect tool to shave off the end of a too long shelf, but I couldn't get the hang of it. I couldn't get the razor to be at the right height, whatever that height should have been, and it didn't move smoothly over the surface. Is it not good for particle board? Also it's shape was not comfortable to handle.
