Selected User Reviews For Chamfer Plane with 7 Types of Chamfering Cutter Heads for Edge Corner Flattening Quick Edge Trimming,45 Degree Edge Corner Plane with Bubble Levels
The blades are razor-sharp, and the tool is simple to operate. This is an excellent addition to a woodworking tool shop.
It's a sturdy metal plane with a good build quality. Despite the fact that many are identical, with the exception of color or brand name, there are a lot of them. As a result, it isn't a one-of-a-kind device. Many different names were used to mass-produce and sell the product. The mechanics are in good working order, and the blade moves smoothly. br>br>In the box, there are no instructions. None. Yes, I realize it's not difficult to figure out, but it would be nice if the company showed that they cared about their customers by providing instructions on how to use the product, such as what the marks on the blades mean (metric, imperial, I'm not sure). That'll be up to you to figure out. br>br>I'm not sure why there's a bubble level in the first place. Isn't it true that you can't level the plane by holding it at various angles? Or maybe I'm just a slacker. I'm not sure how useful that is. br>br>Unfortunately, the blades aren't very sharp. The blade in the plane out of the box, the end is actually jagged, as you can see with your eyes. It's hard to see in my picture, and it's too small here on Amazon, but it's there. That is, of course, why they aren't as sharp as they should be. So there's a good chance the blades will need to be sharpened. Straight out of the box, the blades should be razor sharp, not jagged. br>br>As I previously stated, it is well-made and will be a descent plane after sharpening. I'm not impressed at all. You get what you pay for, I suppose.
Apart from the fact that it initially appears to be good, I have nothing positive to say about it. It has a good weight and feel. The disadvantages: br>br> br>br>*) The blades are not sharpened when they are delivered. At all. Actually, it's in shockingly bad shape. br>*) It's difficult to sharpen the shaped cutters. For testing, I quickly flattened the back of one on a stone and honed the edge with a needle file. It was a step forward, but the effect faded quickly. The steel is softer than I'd expect for a tool of this nature. *) What are the levels of the bubbles? I suppose it can also be used as a torpedo level. However, the overall quality of this product makes it the last thing I'd trust for such a job. br>br>With perseverance, this could get the job done, but I'm not sure it's worth the effort versus simply purchasing a better tool. If you don't need the curved cutters, you can get one of the cheaper versions of this tool (there are a lot on Amazon) that doesn't have them.
It has a simple design with simple adjustments for bit depth, tightening, and bit swapping. Everything is in its proper place and aligned. This plane does not have a cheap feel to it. As an added bonus, there are seven additional bits of various shapes and sizes! Awesome! I was able to get good results by running over the edge of some older hard pine boards. It's critical to have the right tool for the job, and this chamfer plane fulfills that requirement.
