Works very well, specially at this price. Shaving very thin cuts once set up and sharpened. Its made me fall in love with hand planers.

I've seen a few reviews complaining about the sharpness of this plane and so I thought I'd offer my opinion on it. It's a nice little plane, fully functional, acceptable quality, and .................blunt. So what. Every bladed tool you will buy will need sharpening before use. It took me all of 90 seconds to sharpen, and another couple of minutes setting the plane. Now I have a very nice piece of kit that didn't cost the world. But a word of advice. If you're going to buy one, you have to invest in some diamond plates and a leather strop. You not only need these for initial set up, but also to keep the iron sharp going forward. Hope this helps.

This plane is my first and boy do I love it, it was soo cheap, so I was expecting junk but found an awesome plane that I use all the time, it's perfect, except it has an odd screw that holds the locking cap, it also has a lose angle adjuster lever, that I can't stop rattling, the Stanley planes changed the block plane for the worse, they have too many little adjustments that are not needed.
