Every shop needs this
I have (had) another one of these but a very cheap one. This is much better and one of my favorites. The blade had a basic edge on it. I finished sharpening the .126 thick blade, and flattened the back. This took only a few minutes because the basic edge and back were not that bad. I flattened the sole, which not that bad as well. The frog was hard to check, but had good maching marks. The lever cap and screw work well, the blade adjustment fits well in the blade slot and has good adjustable operation. This fits comfortable in the hand. For this price this was a very pleasant surprise. I have some Jacobson clamps and like the build quality of them as well. This is a great tool for a great price.(guess I could have just said that and been done with it 😏)

Good value and a good little tool.
Excellent tool, great price. I had to play around a little to adjust the blade to a comfortable level, but once I found the sweet spot, this little guy worked like a dream. Tiny, easily portable and gets the job done for a good price. For context, I needed a quick cheap purchase, as I have been looking all over for my planer which I don’t frequently use. I’m renovating my 300 year old home and some of the window parts have swelled and were no longer fitting in place. This was perfect tool for what I needed and I didn’t have to spend a small fortune on a new tool. Eventually, I will find my good planer but now I won’t have to drive myself crazy trying to find it.

Exceeds to excess!
This little plane is everything I had hoped it would be, plus a little extra! I have always found this size of plane handy, but most of the ones you will easily find the bottom plate and sides, the frame of the thing, is made out of sheet steel bent up to form the sides and then ground to be passibly flat. Such planes only have one screw on them, corresponding to the bigger of the two on this one. To adjust the blade, you back off the locking screw somewhat, and then rap the blade with something to affect your changes. As primitive as that might sound, all in all it is effective enough…But this product brings the quality and features of much bigger and more expensive planes down to even this cute pocket size! Of course the blade positioning screw is the game-changer to accuracy you would think it is, but I had my slight fears that this whole thing might be executed poorly– you know, aping the look of quality and sophistication that isn’t really there?In this case, it is all there. The heelplate is the flattest I have ever seen, the blade thicker than I expected, and just to add to the overall sense of undeniable quality and value, the blade is sharper out of the box than any other plane I have ever owned– mostly Stanley, but they are sort of the common man’s standard in planes.In short, it has exceeded my expectations, and even hopes, in every particular, so if you are considering buying this tool, don’t read any further– just order it. You absolutely will be pleased with your decision once it arrives.

It really works!
This little plane is cute as a button, and I was very pleasantly surprised to learn that it’s a real tool! The sole arrived dead flat, and the same was true of the back of the iron. All I had to do was put a tiny 30 degree bevel on the edge and it started making shavings like crazy. The body did not need any deburring, and the lip of the mouth is almost sharp enough to cut on its own if it weren’t flush with the rest of the sole. My only complaint is that dialing in the cut depth is a tad finicky; it doesn’t take a big adjustment to go from not cutting at all to cutting too deep. It would probably be a good idea to lightly camber the corners of the iron.Note that this is a bevel-up plane. That means that it requires no chip breaker, which makes it super simple to assemble and tune. The whole plane consists of three basic parts: body (with adjusting screw), frog (with tightening screw), and iron.This is an amazingly effective little tool for the price.

Questa piccolissima pialla sembra datta di buoni materiali, ed è ottima per piallare piccole parti di legno o bordi

I bought the JORGENSEN 3.5″ mini wood plane for light touch-up work around the house—mainly trimming door edges and cleaning up small woodworking projects—and it’s done a solid job so far.Right out of the box, it felt well-made and sturdier than I expected at this price point. The blade was fairly sharp and only needed minor adjustment to get it just right. Once tuned, it produced smooth shavings and left a clean finish on soft and medium woods.This is not a tool meant for heavy-duty planing, so if you’re expecting to flatten large boards or remove a ton of material, this isn’t it. But for tight spaces or detail work, it’s perfect. I especially liked the compact size—it fits in the palm of your hand and gives you great control for delicate jobs.A couple of small drawbacks: the blade adjustment mechanism could be a bit more refined, and it took a few tries to get the depth exactly where I wanted it. Also, the grip isn’t the most comfortable for extended use, but that’s expected with mini tools like this.Overall, it’s a great little tool to keep in the toolbox for quick fixes and fine-tuning. I wouldn’t rely on it for big tasks, but for small projects, it’s more than earned its place on my bench.

Matériel de qualité.
