Fantastic value
I saw the reviews for this and I was worried that I had bought a piece of junk, however after stripping down the plane and properly sharpening the blade, it works brilliantly - better in fact than my Stanley #4 or my Record #5. The shoe is dead flat, the adjustment screws all work and the blade takes a good edge. I understand there may be some variation in quality from the bad reviews but I have a great tool that will last the rest of my life, all for about £17 - when I was considering spending up to about £75 for a more reputable brand. Just to recap, after sharpening, this plane happily takes off a full width 1000th inch shaving from a length of softwood - haven't tried it on hardwood yet.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Crudely made – Not 3mm blade – Works fine after a lot of fettling
Although I know that anything I bought by Silverline was ranging from bad quality to total crap, for £14.99 with free next day shipping I decided to take my chances. As expected the plane arrived the next day in a completely unusable condition. I was impressed by the absolute lack of refinement on any of the plane parts. The sole and sides machining was rough and the rest of the body is covered by a thick layer of black paint in an effort to cover the imperfections. However both sides were square to the sole. The handles are rosewood, but they were very crudely made (especially the tote) so they wouldn’t fit comfortable to any size of hand, the screws were protruding roo much and on top of that they had a horrible finish applied on them. After a lot of work with rasp, file, sandpaper and some boiled linseed oil they look and feel fine. I also had to cut the small tote screw by 7mm in order to fit properly. The sole was hollow in the middle across the whole length and it was slightly concave as well. It took some time to flatten the sole and remove the machine marks from the sides using sand paper (starting from 40grit). The iron was relatively flat, but it was ground 3mm out of square, so it required a lot of effort in order to be properly sharpened and honed. It is about 2mm thick and not 3mm as advertised. The major issue though is that in the case of my plane is hard as cheese and it will not hold an edge more than a few strokes. Maybe I was unlucky because I have read that these irons are at least properly hardened. I have replaced it with an old Record iron that I had as a spare. The cap iron required work to flatten and polish the small area that touches the iron near the cutting edge, polish the external side close to the cutting edge in order to make easier the escape of the shavings and filing and sanding to remove the burrs around the screw hole. Both the iron and cap iron have uniform but coarse machine marks. The lever cap was hollow and required some flattening in order to apply uniform pressure to the cutting iron assembly. The frog was placed way back from the mouth opening and it was hollow so it required flattening. The washers of the frog retaining screws were replaced by larger ones since the original were not fit for purpose. The frog adjusting plate is very thin, but I rarely if ever change the frog position so it doesn't bother me. After sorting out all the above issues the plane was able to take transparent shavings on spruce (regardless of the presence of any knots) and leave a glass smooth surface behind. The depth and lateral adjustments work fine as well, despite their loose tolerances. In conclusion I would recommend this plane (at this price only) only to anyone with a tight budget, who needs a No 6 plane, knows how to tune it properly and has a lot of time time to spend for that.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Building a plane collection? This might be it...
I was hesitant to buy this, at first. A used fore plane would set you back £40-60, so a new £15 one has to be junk, right? Cons: japaning isn't great. There are flaked off bits of paint and bits which have been lightly touched up. The blade is 2mm thick, rather than the standard 3mm The steel/ iron sole isn't the best quality casting. You can see hollows from casting flaws which have been filled in with a welder and ground flush. The handle/ tote is a bit small, but comfortable enough when the index finger is on the cutting iron. Aside from that, she's a beauty! She's a hefty lass, and they haven't skimped on materials, at least on the main body. The wooden fittings are beautiful, the cap iron is nice and the frog seems okay. The adjustments are nice and smooth too. I haven't honed the iron or lapped the sole yet, so not given her a whurl. I was impressed enough to purchase the no.7 for £20, though. Nothing wrong with this plane which a bit of prep and maintenance wouldn't solve.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Good functional plane after some work.
A great plane for the money, can't beat the price of £15. It took a bit of work to flatten the plane sole but the results were good. The blade included was rubbish and would not hold an edge. I bought a quality blade and the plane works well. It took a bit of work and a new blade to set the plane up, not the best quality but well worth the money. I would buy another.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Excellent for such a low cost
Like all new planes it needed work on the blade to flatten the back, camber it for fore plane use and sharpen it. As supplied the blade was ground square. On this plane the cap iron was fine, I didn't need to fit the cap iron to the flattened blade. The plane has a flat sole, square sides and a well bedded square frog. As supplied it's perfect for use as a fore plane. Wooden handles are nice for such a cheap plane. Some backlash in the blade adjustment but no worse than I've seen on more expensive planes. In summary, an excellent foreVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

Problem with the depth-adjustment screw.
The depth-adjustment screw does not work properly and it is very difficult to adjust and use the plane. I am very disappointed with it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
