I'm more of an engineer than a wood worker & had never owned a plane before, but I realised that a project I was undertaking would be made easier with the use of one. I chose these because they seemed a reasonably priced set, decent quality but not too sophisticated for my limited skills. The wooden storage box looked to be a nice additional touch, too. They arrived well packaged, but the two planes had been placed in the wooden box the wrong way & it had forced some of the joints apart. Before I tried out the planes I decided to sort out the box- replacing the flimsy hinges & catch and repairing the loose joints. A bit sad, I suppose, but if you're going to have things right.... Turning attention to the planes, they are solid & well made, with knurled brass adjustment knobs. However, there's no way they could be used straight from the box, although I gather it's pretty much standard to expect to tune up a tool, particularly one in the lower price range, before use. It's easy enough to do & anyone buying a plane in the first place will likely have the aptitude to complete the job. These required stripping down, removing excess paint that was restricting adjustment, trueing up the sole plate on emery paper, sharpening the blade & reassembling with a light coat of oil & some beeswax on the sole. I followed a YouTube tutorial - there are many - and with a little patience had them in excellent shape. It was well worth the time & effort, and I enjoyed the process. Using the planes I found, even with no real experience, I was able to remove very satisfying, perfect thin curls of wood from the piece of timber I was working on. So, good value, solid tools that, at least for the occasional user, who doesn't mind a bit of tinkering, should serve you well.

The delivery of this product was very fast, in fact ordering it from England got here quicker than what I ordered from a company only 10k away at the same time, from where I live. The planes needed quite a bit of work to make them flat and sharp, they're fine now I've worked on them.

Sind technisch recht gut gearbeitet. die Abtragmenge ist eigentlich ganz gut einstellbar aber leider beim 60,1 etwas zu klein geraten. Sind halt eher für die feine Nacharbeit gedacht... Da könnte die Produktbeschreibung mal nachgebessert werden.1Punkt abzug für die unsaubere Führung der Klingen. Die müssen leider manuell zentriert werden und das gelingt nur bedingt. Zu viel Spiel in der Breite. Der zweite Punkte geht für die Schärfe der Klingen drauf.

Non sono molto esperto ma mi sembra che le pialle una volta affilate a dovere facciano il loro lavoro più che egregiamente.Consigliate.

Muito bom
