Review title: I'd pay more for a better one next time
Product review: I have read various woodworking articles that recommended rabbet planes as being good workhorses--I was thinking of planing tenons, etc. (I have an excellent low-angle block plane already). The casting on this unit is rough and poorly machined. The iron (i.e. blade) is *wider* than the body, so you cannot easily use the edge of the plane to shape a tenon while guiding against the shoulder. The bearing surface between the upper and lower parts of the body is a painted rough-cast surface (not machined), so adjusting the size of the throat changes the vertical position of the nosepiece. The bedding surface for the iron is machined out of square. I did a lot of tuning and brought the tool up to a reasonable condition, but I still wouldn't recommend it.
