great quality and value

I use about 5 other planes, can sharpen blades and rescued 2 planes by flattening soles and other mods. I am no expert but i use planes. I like this plane because straight out of the box it was a well tuned plane and the blade sharpness matches my other blades (micro levels at 8000 grit). Second, it is an inch longer and heavier compared to my type 11 Stanley no 4. I was expecting kind of duplicate but the new Stanley feels to me more like 4 1/2. The machining of the adjustable mouth, sole, sides is best I have seen. For instance when i tried sole flatness on 1200 paper the sole was flat including the movable mouth plate! Bravo Mexico. The only modification I plan to do is to round a bit the perimeter of the sole, the perfect edge this plane has is a little bit too sharp. The adjuster has about 1/2 of the play of my old Stanley but who cares. The lateral lock of the adjuster is a great idea and it actually works. I could do a micro adjustment of blade depth without disturbing lateral position. So in conclusion here is a plane with two fantastic additions to # 4 plane that no other manufacturer has (adjustable mouth and lateral lock) manufactured to (Maine or Canada) boutique plane quality and sold for a very reasonable price. Absolute bargain.

Great Plane

Great Plane. Adjustments are easy and precise. The iron needed sharpening out of the box as expected, but the plane base is flat and the sides are square so no work needed there. Once sharpened, I was able to create paper thin shavings in maple easily. Highly recommended and a good value.

Sweet!

My search for the 12-136 popped up Walmart! Who... for tools? Nice tools? Walmart! Best price, store nearby, special pick-up desk by the front door, and the same packaging as purchased anywhere. Sweet.
