| Post subject: | HF wood/brass small planes |
I bought and put on the shelf a set of Harbor Freight 'mini brass planes', the princely sum of thirteen bucks, less coupon discount. I used the block plane of the set yesterday to taper the soundboard braces on my current project 'in situ', as a consequence space was at a premium. Little bugger worked just fine. At least very nicely for the price. I did sharpen the blade (scary sharp technique) before I used the plane. Haven't had a use for the other 2 planes in the set as of yet. It's not a finger plane, but I think it delivers value for the price spent. Now to see if I can get any use out of the five-dollar spokeshave... |

I bought a similar block plane off ebay last year ($7) after using one a co-worker had. For small jobs it is quite handy. The other two planes look like they could be useful also. The HF set looks like a better deal if they are just as nice. Next time I'm at HF i'll have to look them up. |
