9"/10" Spokeshave for woodworking with 6pcs Metal Blades & 1pc Plane | Adjustable Spoke Shave, Ergonomic Handle, for Carpenters & Wood Crafters, PVC/Laminate/Plywood, Curved & Flat Surfaces

I want to start off by saying that you will need to sharpen and hone all blades before use (unless used for very, very rough work), sand the bottoms of each piece flat and clear of the black coating, and file the mouths evenly. I also smoothed out the handles, where the coating had formed small bumps. Took me an hour or two to set up all 3 pieces, but this is to be expected with any plane or chisel. That said, the blades came very sharp and appear to be decent enough hardened steel. It is really nice they include the extra blades, too. If you're a beginner, don't forget to oil/lubricate every part after the initial setup. The spokeshaves work as expected, although I found the smaller one to work much smoother than the bulkier one surprisingly. I use them for making bows, handles, and paddles. They're nothing fancy, but they do the job. The block plane is cute and practical, but the design has a couple issues (still, it is well worth the price). The mouth opens straight vertically, which makes shavings sometimes bunch up. Luckily, the wood chisels cleanly with guide gouges, so it's easy to open it up 20-30 degrees. Second, the pin/wedge don't hold in very tightly, even when I got every surface sanded flush. I usually have to tap the front on my bench every 6 or so full width strokes to project the blade again. I had better results when I made and used a sugar maple wedge cut into a V, but it still slipped over time. Filed the pin down flat on the side that touched the wedge, and it held enough to take full shavings without retracting the blade. It would have worked well enough for basic chamfering or shooting without these changes, but I liked the way it looked too much to let it sit, and the cast iron body planes are not fun to use in the winter. Would definitely recommend these for beginners or frugal hobbyists!

Decent quality for a beginner. They feel a bit flimsy compared to others I've used and I struggled to adjust them properly but after adjusting they were fine. I was using them on soft wood and they did just fine. The little travel plane is cute but not particularly useful - the blade wouldn't stay in place no matter how I wedged it and I would get 1-2 short passes (the project was only a foot long) before it loosened and moved. Overall, would recommend this set as a tester to see if it's worth spending a lot more on a higher quality version, just keep in mind if you're using it often you'll need to replace it with a better tool sooner rather than later. You get what you pay for and for the price this is a pretty good deal

The cutting iron is good steel. I probably tuned them somewhat-I don't remember. It's best to verify the back is flat and the edge is straight and sharp , of course. Check the lever cap where it sits on the blade for straight. The adjusting hardware is good quality, the shiny Brass screws actually hold and adjust. Once I dialed them in I got tremendous shavings with them. The bonus wooen plane is nice, too. The steel takes a fine strong edge. It was a very good price for three nice , productive planes and it came with extra blades! Crazy! The logo says Boeray Quality Tools and I will not contradict. Thank you Boeray I love spokeshaving and your tools make it fun.

Not a bad set of spokeshaves if you are capable of doing some adjusting, but as many have said the quality is not what most wood workers expect. These are not anywhere close to be Veritas, or some of the older brands of used equipment you will find for sale on the internet for the same or less money. I bought the set just to see how bad they really are, and the quality control is really poor. The adjustment screws were bent on both tools when I received them and needed to be straightened. Not a hard process, but I should not have had to make this type of adjustment. If done incorrectly and you break the adjustment screws, the tool is trash. As with any plane or cutting tool you need to remove the shipping oil and sharpen the blades. You will also need to remove the paint from the lower part of the plane body to keep from transferring black paint to lighter colored woods. In the end, the price is commiserate with the quality of the tool. Once sharpened and adjusted the spokeshaves did make some pretty decent shavings in soft maple.

I was not expecting Lee Nielsen quality here and neither should you, but the blades came sharp, it worked and the little included block plane is shockingly easy to use and works well. I just used it to knock the corners off of some table legs and am incredibly happy with it. Check out Rex Kruger on YouTube for how to adjust these block based planes. Shockingly good for the price. Totally adequate, if not amazingly well finished.

The tool is very well built and easy to assemble. Blades are very sharp right out of the box and easy to adjust. You probably won't use this tool on every project, but when you need to , you'll be glad you have it.

I’m going to start off with why I’m glad I bought them - cheap and workable. The blades can an edge well and hold it once sharpened. The bad, in my case the smaller one required me to take it to a belt sander to smooth, had casting issues and was ragged where the blade extends out. I generally file/polish all new spokeshaves base to a mirror finish but actually requiring major casting removal was new. One blade for the larger came in completely miscut, looks like there was a kick making the blade and just got sent anyways. Luckily they send extra blade for each spokeshave. So in recap, cheap and no QC, but workable if you’re mechanically inclined.

This spokesman worked great right out of the box. Takes a bit to dial it in just right but what plane doesn't. I used these on walnut and poplar so far and for smoothing on hardwood I am very pleased with the results. Sturdy and the blade never slipped out of alignment. Build quality is good and I feel so far that these will last me a good long while.

came with extra blades and well packaged better than expected

These tools filled a needed item in hubby's workshop and he's happy to have them and quite satisfied with the quality of the spokeshaves. The little wooden planer isn't the best quality, but it's something he can work with and improve on. You can't beat the price either....and the quality is much better than what is expected for the low cost.

A casser immédiatement en tombant de 10 cm

Tres bonne qualité.

They require a lot of work before they're useable: the irons are not great quality so I'll probably be swapping those out sooner than later. The little block-plane is mostly just ornamental. Fine for the price
