I bought this on the basis of Faithfull No7 Jointer Plane Review Full good reviews and those saying the plane was fine after tuning. As someone who has bought several old Stanleys on Ebay and rejuvenated them, a bit of fettling didn't scare me.

However, this was the worst mechanical condition I've ever seen a plane in though it's redeeming feature was a base that could be made flat and wasn't too bad out of the box which I why I give the plane 2 stars rather than 1. However, some of the rest of the machining was appalling and the lever cap design is poor in my opinion.

Unfortunately, after I'd quickly sanded the base flat, I was tuning a replacement Axminster Rider iron when I discovered the frog was not seated correctly. Bad machining meant the frog was leaning on the adjustment screw and had bent it. I couldn't see any way to fix this without a lot of work so left the screw out so, at least, the frog would sit at 45 degrees. I'm not planing on moving the frog in normal use but I would have returned the plane for this fault if I had noticed it before I started tuning.

Getting the iron to seat properly required filing of the area around the mouth where some excess paint and bad moulding needed removal. I spent quite some time getting the machined frog surfaces flat too. I'm not keen on the lever cap hole design as Faithfull No7 Jointer Plane Review Game being a keyhole shape means it's prone to slipping up on the screw when retracting the blade. Stanley knew about this in when their kidney-shaped hole appeared. After a replacement iron and a couple of days of work, I've got a reasonable and flat No 7.

However, I had to fix far too many basic manufacturing faults to get there so - 2 stars. I'd have much preferred to have paid Faithfull a little more for improved factory machining. For the price, this is an excellent plane. The base is flat, the sides are square, the handles are comfortable, the adjusters work, the frog is roughly true.

However, the blade is terrible. When it arrived I flattened the back of the blade and sharpened it, it took a good edge and I set to work using it. I was flattening a piece of ash but before I'd finished I stated noticing lines in the otherwise smooth surface left after a pass of the plane. A magnifying glass showed several small nicks in the edge of the blade, something I've not seen in any of my other planes and certainly not what I'd expect after a very limited amout of use.

I went back to my old Stanley No 6 while I waited for a replacement blade a Stanley to arrive. Neither the No 6, nor the Faithful No 7 once fitted with a new blade showed the sort of chipping on the edge that I was getting on the Faithful blade.

Overall a good plane but budget for an additional blade. Photo shows the chipped edge of the blade taken by holding a jeweller's magnifying glass up against my phone - the edge looks curved because of the lens. Images in this review. Had to return the first one as the cast iron frog was snapped go figure but by the miracle that is Amazon a replacement arrived the next day.

As commented by others, this would deserve more stars if there were no obvious signs of rough handling, specifically post machining dinks in the casting that need grinding out with an oilstone, and the most important part, the blade, is The blade was severely dinked on the cutting edge, requiring over a millimeter of steel to be ground away. Not so easy with only a bench grinder to hand. It then took elbow grease and an oilstone to produce a cutting edge. Not sure what sheerness and thickness have to do with this review but Ordered one It was faulty, very badly cast steel, had to return, new one seems better but took a fair bit of setting up Bases on both were off The first one was was off in one direction and the next one was the opposite way so the casting is pretty poorly done No consistency.

It does work but you get what you pay for Its good at flattening out wood But is it my favorite plane? No its not I tend to grip hold of my older ones still which seem to do a better job Took vet little training and a little honing our the box and it was off.

A great product. I had seen some negative reviews, especially about the blade quality but I couldn't be happier especially for the price. Perhaps a far, far more expensive bit of steel might be able to hold an edge a little longer.

But with just a little time on a whetstone this cuts like a dream and holds up just fine; consistently producing perfect long curls from a rock hard slab of oak. The shoe seems perfectly flat to me out of the box and the brass and wood trimmings are a satisfying touch.

Received The Faithful N0. The packing could use improvement as they used one strip of craft paper for padding, and so the parts came loose blade, chip breaker and cap caused a small nick on blade and some epoxy chipping.

However it's a looooong way to the Caribbean. And so, it's forgiven. The plane itself came in working condition, popped the blade, etc. The sole not perfectly flat, so I could flatten it on sand paper or leave it as is.

I've used and use KANA planes and you know they have a slight hollow before the blade, well this plane happens to have it in exactly the same place. I tried it on some lumber and planed it perfectly straight, so why fix what isn't broken. And so, I'm happy with my new No. You can't beat it for the price. UK, have made several purchases lately and everything has turned out fine.
