Kanna Japanese Wood Planer 50mm - Professional Hand Block Plane Woodworking Tools

Neat little starter plane but needs fettling as per the numerous youtube videos out there. Once set up it's a lovely tool to work with and very easy to maintain sharpness due to its simplicity.

The setting of the blade is crucial but once adjusted to shave 0.05mm or 0.002” max it should cut sweet. This is the maximum depth of cut I found the best, setting the blade to 0.1mm or 0.004” is too deep of a cut. Also it all depends what wood you are working with. I found it much easier to use than a traditional english plane.

Absolutely top quality and will only need a little fettling to get it up and running. Very happy with my purchase and will certainly be buying more Suizan tools in the future.

Parfait

I like this plane very much. The blade feels heavy and cuts well. The sole is pretty flat right out of the box, i still have to put the hollows on it, but I tested it like this and it produces nice shavings. The blade was pretty stuck when it came, so I let it to acclimatize like 1 week and then with a bit of elbow grease I managed to release it from the dai and started the fitting process using a pencil. And it cuts really well even without chipbreaker. I don't regret buying this product.

Best plane you can order from amazon. It comes very sharp but i resharpened it, make it flat, sharpened chip breaker and flaten it as well.Its a learning curve to set up a japanese plane if you are first time user. I ordered three suizan planes it took me a full day to sharpen to 8000 grit and fully set all three. I sharp my tools free hand if you use a jig it may take you a little longer . I recommend buying bigger two planes

Great hand plane! It comes sharp out of the box, which not even all premium ones will. It took about 30 minutes to tune up. This is standard for even more expensive Japanese planes. The size was as advertised, though I wasn't expecting it to be nearly as heavy as it was. I was able to use it one handed and still took red oak shavings as well as pine from Home Depot. It took paper thin shavings down to thick heavy curls. Use the hammer to tune the depth of the blade and you'll have your desired shavings! Overall/TLDR: EASY TO USE, SET UP, and excellent value! It is easy to adjust, and will last a long time!

Franchement je regrette mon achat
