nice plane but handles are too small
This is a nice plane but the rear handle is too small for my hand.That makes it uncomfortable to use.I will try to find a larger handle or it will make a nice gift for a smaller person.

I purchased this plane, although not form amazon.com so frustratingly I did pay a little over the odds. It is an excellent hand tool. It is not difficult to set up, just follow the instructions, it is also imperative that the tool is honed before use. I just resharpened mine a few days ago and I have to say I still can not get over how good it is.

Just receivedrecord 05rxxxjack plane
I have been reading alot about planes and, I figured I would trythis one out.The price seemed very reasonible, you can spend anywhere upto and over $300.00 for a plane. I only took it out of the box last night and just ran it over afew scraps of wood.I haven't been able to really set it up properly or I should say the way it is explained in various wood publications..So far it appears tobe a good tool and works pretty well i'll write alittle more when I get more experience with this plane.I have been working with wood for the last 20 years but have only gotten into pretty heavy the last two years and I have always avoided working with a plane once you get it down it should go ok ...

well-designed block plane
This is a well-designed and well-made block plane.It fits my hand nicely and all the adjustment screws and levers operate smoothly.Like with any new plane, you should find hone the plane iron before you use it.

Excellent Little Plane
This is a fabulous little handplane.The adjustment for depth of cut is very fine, making small adjustments very easy.The adjustable mouth eliminates the need for a chip breaker and allows for fine, light shavings,or heavier duty ones if required.The plane is a snap to set up and use. If you know how to sharpen the iron well, this plane will do just aboutanything with ease. ... Read more

Best Plane for the money
I am a novice woodworker who can't justify at this moment in time a Lie-Nielsen or any of that type.I have found a real gem in this plane.I especially like the adjustable mouth that allows fine to coarse cutting.I am no expert, I just know this is one fine tool.I have planed pine, oak, and maple, with great results.As long as the blade is kept very sharp the results were a smooth finish. I found the blade to be well made.It takes little effort to hone, and holds an edge.I found the adjustments to be easy to use and the sole plate was right on the money.I may move up someday to a more meticulously machined plane, but for right now I am quite content with this one.In fact I am looking foreard to purchasing the Record 9 1/2.

Excellent plane with a little work!
This is a great little plane for the first time purchaser and is a servicable tool for the professional as well.
You will need to sharpen the blade to get the best service and cut from the tool.You may have to polish the sole a little. (If you do not want to go these extra steps to make your tool work properly just purchase one of the better block planes).
The lateral adjustment lever works well, as does the depth adjuster.
The only criticism I have about this plane is the blade cover locking knob.It is a little difficult to tighten and untighten due to it's placement under the palm rest.Otherwise, this is a good little plane and is a fun tool which, once sharpened properly, will have you buying pine boards just to hear the "whoosh" as you plane a slice of wood off.I bought both the 60 1/2 and the 9 1/2.The 60 1/2 will do everything the 9 1/2 will do and more!I also own five other mid-priced block planes and this is my favorite! ...

Record Smooth Plane #04
An excellent quality smoothing plane for the price. Fit and finish out ofthe box was very good. The sole was flat. The iron itself only needed a fewstrokes on a bench stone to get the edge sharp. The cam lever, lever capand adjusting nut operated smoothly and easily. Again, for the price youcan't go wrong. ... Read more
