HART 7-inch Block Plane

So i decided to use this to make a homemade picture frame. After getting it all set up properly & the wood clamped down, I attempted to use it. I didnt have the blade 100% secured, fixed it and began again. After fixing it, it was a breeze to use. All the plane needed was to be set up,& then a little muscle behind it. It went flawlessly without any divets or splintering. I decided to use basic 1 inch untreated wood. It was a little rough maneuvering it, but it probably had something do with the wood itself. However the cuts were precise, and everything turned out nice and even.

This is a solid block plane. Good weight to it and no flimsy parts. It has a contoured wheel for adjusting the plane depth. It makes it easy to grasp, turn, tighten and loosen. So far it has stayed tight with use. The handles are also of a comfortable size and grip. Feels comparable to other block planes I have used. Nice and sharp.
