Selected User Reviews For Faithfull FAIPLANE4C Number 4 Smoothing Plane - Black
The ground wasn't completely level. I had to sand the bottom with a piece of granite counter top and wet/dry 220 grit sand paper. To smooth it out, use an 800 grit sandpaper. It had been a ton of effort. Even so, it isn't completely flat. The parts are high-quality and durable. It's just that their milling process could be a little more precise. However, the price was reasonable. If this sounds like a hassle, spend the $200 on a Lie-Detective Device. Stanley Sweetheart or Nielsen.
It was fine after a little work on the bottom, and you could shave with it after a little work on the iron, as usual. It is unbeatable in terms of value. Of course, it's not as good as a Stanley or a Miller's Falls, but for the price, it's hard to beat. The fact that it's made in India isn't a deal breaker for me. There are some excellent planes coming out of that country (as well as a lot of junk). Be cautious when purchasing. This has a high-quality appearance and feel.
When you open the package, you'll find the cepillo in a cardboard box, which appears to be normal. When it comes to removing the cuchilla, which obviously requires an afilado as a new product, there are no obvious flaws. The base is relatively flat, and I believe it would be perfect with a little lija to the water. As other buyers have stated, the mango is a little small and a little sour, but it is still edible. br>Until now, everything has been normal and hopeful, but then I saw the advertisement and saw that other users had received the product in a wooden box, which was not the case in my case. There's nothing that prevents me from using the cepillo, but I was a little disappointed by what I expected and what I got.
It was ready to go after a little flattening of the sole and honing of the blade. The handle is a bit small for my hands, but not too small. Put a little tung oil on the handles to give them a nicer finish, and they look great.
The bottom of the shoe has a very flat sole. Before using the blade, it must be sharpened. br>The handle is too small (at least for me), but I was able to fix it with a file and sandpaper; there is enough material to remove from the top and bottom. br>In general, all of the parts are a little shabby but serviceable, and the price is still reasonable.
I simply sharpened the blade and flattened the sole with minimal effort before putting it to use. I won't be able to compete with a Wood River or an old Stanley, but I've been laying out boards and surfacing wood.
The only drawback was that the wood box had been damaged during shipping.
It aids in the leveling of wood by straightening it.
