Pros

Works great, took a little while for me to checkout the setup. With about 30 min prep, works great almost out of the box. Refer to planer prep videos on youtube by master craftsman paul sellers.

The blade quality is excellent when sharpened up to 1500 grit. Knurled blade advance knob is sturdy and ergonomically placed. The blade can be easily adjusted to the fraction of a millimetre.

Forward and aft totès are the highlight - made of hardwood with nice grain. Cap iron sturdy. No question of dislike.

Cons

Stanley's indian venture is a comedy of substandard material and workmanship. Chip breaker has to be set far from the blade edge to achieve acceptable blade protrusion.

Quality

I am totally satisfied with the purchase.

Self assembly is quite easy once you know about the product.

The product build quality is good but the grip of the rear wood handle is not enough to perform the task with single hand.

Stanley should improve the the blade build quality and rear wood handle of smoothing planer.

Packaging/appearance

No planer will work well right out of the box.
