Review: Why haven't you bought 7 of these? You know you'll use them. - Cheap little stamped metal plane, right? Kind of. It's cheap, it's stamped metal, but it feels and works great. They're small and inexpensive enough that I can tuck one in every tool bag. The little blade takes a fine edge, and this thing shaves way outside of its weight class. It's not a big jointing plane, but it'll chamfer anything you want quickly and cheaply. I don't think this is a cheap little stamped metal plane. Having used it, it feels more like an inexpensive practical tool. Stanley outdid themselves on this one. Update: Still takes a wicked edge 10 months later, and works just fine for skiving leather, too.
Review: Very nice little plane - Bought this for modeling to shape leading edges of balsa wings. Does a very nice job, a little bit on the big size but much nicer than the overpriced plastic ones they make for that purpose. Cuts very nice, doesn't grab too much in the soft, fragile balsa. It's stamped, not cast, but it should last several generations if I don't lose it. My only complaint is that there isn't a screw to advance the blade, so you have to flip it over and eyeball the gap, both for blade protrusion, left-right alignment, and also left-right angle. A little tricky to get everything realigned if you just want to push it a tiny amount for a little more bite. But that might easily double the cost and weight so I can understand why they left it out on a tiny plane like this.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ it turned out to be quite good. Here's the two biggest tips I have
*by A***M on October 28, 2017*

It took some time, but once I figured out how to effectively use this guy, it turned out to be quite good. Here's the two biggest tips I have. First, sand down the sole. Mine had a slight concave middle by about the thickness of the paint, which isn't really a problem. The problem is the paint itself. About half way through my first piece, I noticed the paint actually coming off on the wood. It only took about 15 min to remove it with some 150 grit sand paper, so I'd highly recommend anyone buying this to do this. It also won't hurt just to ensure that it's uniform. Second is adjusting it. I almost ruined my first few pieces learning how to do this. Getting it initially set is the biggest issue, and requires A LOT of trial and error since there's no easy way to make fine adjustments. I found just clamping a scrap 2x4 in the vice worked fine for a test piece. What you're trying to do is get the depth just to the point where the shavings you take off are almost wisp-like, or maybe a little bigger, but less than what you'd get from like a hand pencil sharpener. Once that's set, tighten that thing down and DO NOT loosen the screw again. To adjust it, place it toe down so the blade is vertical (sole will be at an angle), and lightly tap the back of the blade ONCE with a hammer. Imagine tapping an egg so it cracks, but doesn't break. Then try it on your piece again, making at least 15-20 passes. If it's not enough, repeat and try again, but tap it lighter since it would have already moved a little from the first time. But to show it can work well, I've attached a photo of the first pieces I did. The far left just off the clams, middle is after making some initial passes, and right is finished. If the photo had a bit higher resolution you could see the bigger nicks I made learning how to adjust it. But overall I'm quite happy with it.
