fix lots of bumps

the item is unusable, the cutting blade is not sharp at all. Do not buy this item unless you willing to take the risk.

Qualité/prix, bonne livraison

There is not a plane that is great out of the box and this is no different. It will require honing the blade and flattening the bottom. But this one will require significantly more elbow grease than a higher priced one. I kind of regret rebevelling the blade to 25 degrees. It took hours by hand (it would be much faster with a grinder or belt sander). I'm guessing it was 30 or more. On the good side, that means it's made of pretty hard steel. The only part that is "poor quality" is the stamped metal piece in the blade depth adjustment. But mine operates fine. The rest is really solidly built and just requires some love to get to on-par with a high-end tool. They seem to have fixed the quality control issues you see on YouTube reviews. I'm pretty thrilled. Just having to do more honing of the parts you would have to on any plane and at a fraction of the price of anything I can find better. I get a lot of satisfaction doing that kind of work, it's mindless, repetitive, and soothing to me. Like some iPhone game, but with a physical reward at the end.

Has some good weight to it. Need to sharpen blade. Adjustment work fine aver all nice plane
