And one does not regret it. My "cheap" plane is now wedging the workshop door open (it's about all it's any use for.)There's an old adage "buy cheap, buy twice" - at least when it comes to tools. Lesson learned.Hand plane obsessives and/or collectors will no doubt opine that the totes are plastic and not wood, and this and that are some micrometers too big/small, the quality of the cutting iron , etc. - but for an average "handyman" (or woman or non gendered specific individual,) this just gets the job done.Like all planes (and cutting tools generally,) even "new" it will benefit from a bit of "setting up" - e.g. lap the base, soften/bevel the edged, sharpen the iron, check everything is lubricated - I also like to sand down the mould seems on the totes for extra comfort - but once done it's a joy to use. For newbies, there's plenty of YouTube vids showing how to set up a plane. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good to Learn Plane Setup and Maintenance On *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 29 March 2023* Although this plane worked right out the box it does actually need a fair bit of setup. However for I beginning plane I think that is a good idea as you learn a lot about plane setup and maintenance as you do it.The sole and sides are not finished smooth however as the plane body is still releasing the tensions from manufacture I do not regard this as a problem as at around sixth months from purchase it will need the sole and sides to be ground flat anyway.The only downside of the plane are the plastic handles. These shatter very easily. I dropped mine on the floor within a week of purchase and as a result had to carve a replacement tote out of some scrap wood I had to hand.However once properly set up this plane is as good as a pre war vintage one. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Takes time well spent to set up, works beautifully! *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 26 August 2020* I bought this plane knowing it isn't top of the range but it was at the limit of my price range! I'm not disappointed and am really enjoying using it. It is well made, solid and good quality. I'm a novice plane-user and felt a little daunted by it, as I'd read negative reviews which said how long it took to set up.I think the key is, accept you need to spend a good bit of time setting it up before use, but enjoy learning about it too.Firstly the blade needs honing from 25° to 30°. And to do that you'll need to learn all components. Instructions are OK, but not ideal. So I checked out Matt Estleas YouTube channel, one of his videos titled "how to get silky smooth shavings from a plane". He has in fact 7 videos on settings up planes. He explains everything brilliantly and now my plane is set up perfectly❤️ It took a couple of hours perhaps but they were well spent and very pleasant! ## Frequently Bought Together - Stanley 1-12-004 Smooth Plane Bailey No. 4, Multicolor - Stanley 5 Irwin Plane 2In 1 12 005 - Stanley 7 Jointer Plane 2.3/8In 1 12 007 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/52788414-no-4-bailey-bench-plane-1-12-2004](https://www.desertcart.no/products/52788414-no-4-bailey-bench-plane-1-12-2004) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-11-01*
