A very good plane for those who want quality but at an affordable price.
Do not buy low quality, you will regret it and it will cost you more in hours of labor with a poor quality tool.

Really well made, works great right out of the box.

Not one of the fancy ones, but a great worker for the price.
I purchased this plane for its low cost compared to the high end planes out there.
