Customer Reviews

Perfect tool
This is a fantastic plane. The sole is dead flat, the blade is thick and was razor sharp out of the box, and the chipbreaker is perfectly flush across the width of the blade. Blade adjustment is simple and it stays locked in. I have only to lightly hone the blade from time to time on a water stone and it beautifully cuts everything from curly cherry to pine; it even did a decent job chamfering some ironwood from here in the desert. Not to get too poetic, but even here at work, I can actually remember the feel of the plane in my hand as it cuts the wood. Now I just have to save up for some bigger LN planes :-)

You get what you pay for
I have had the bronze body version for a long time. This is the hardest working tool in my shop and I'm afraid I have to respectively disagree with the view that the Stanley comes close... The stanley blade floats and chatters, while the adjustment is fiddley - I also have the Stanley, but I only use it on unforgiving harsh material like chipboard -- the bronze body of my Lie-Nielsen is beautiful, but it's soft and the sole picks up marks from some of the harsher man-made boards.... so, if you can live with the lesser beauty of the grey iron body of this model, then you have got yourself something you will always enjoy and can use everywhere. I'm only trolling this site because I'm considering getting the iron body one as well.
Never buy a cheap tool!
