Excellent Plane, Poor Packaging
4 Stars
Excellent Plane, Poor Packaging
The hand plane, so far, has been excellent. It's a massive step up from the cheapo one I was using before (some no-name plane) and from what I can tell the sole is flat. It adjusts in all the ways I want: the throat plate slides well and the blade adjustment is easy/intuitive. It's comfy for me and the iron seems to be good quality. I'm sure it's not as nice as a veritas, but as a hobbyist I couldn't quite justify the cost of those.The only downside was that it arrived with the cap popped off and the tip of the iron lightly deformed. It hadn't done much damage so I didn't bother returning anything, but I was a little miffed to be sure. It was probably just rough handling during transit, but it was still disappointing.

輸入元のホイサッサさんには迅速に対応してもらいました。
製品としては、クラックが、あったりして、やはりスタンレーの精度は低いですね。底の平面も90度もでていませんが、まあ調整すれば、使えます。初心者にはオススメしませんが、経験者ならよほどハズレを引かない限りはつかえるでしょう。
