Review title: 12-960 plane is a waste of metal
Product review: I received this plane as a gift and couldn't be more disappointed in the fit, function, and finish. Major problem with it is that the blade does not extend past the base so it doesn't cut anything even at full extension. It appears that they didn't finish machining the base where the blade rests. Second problem is that the base is very rough. Looks like they finished it with 20 grit and this is supposed to glide across a wood surface? I don't think so, not even close. This one is going back for a refund and I'll try another brand. I am afraid the Stanley name is now meaningless when it comes to quality image.
