Buying my first plane.

Bearing in mind how few and far between LA jacks are right now, I'd snap that one up. ****, in another month or so you'll probably be able to sell it for what they cost brand new not that long ago...

Slightly left field choice but at £30 on Amazon I couldn't say no. I've been intrigued by Ulmia table saws so I'm looking forward to putting this odd fella to work.

with a single iron, it'll have relatively limited use (rough work or planing very agreeable wood).

Is that actually brand new?

With a double iron, that type of plane is a champ in all things that can be planed.

 

[Jimmy69]

Yes, brand new on amazon.co.uk. But it is a single. I shall look for an upgrade to double

It's still a dandy plane - if you set it up for relatively rough work, you will find a use for it.

For 30 pounds new, just delightful - the continental woodies without the metal contraptions in them are serious planes for serious work. It would cost as much here for one used.

Yeah, it's a nice little plane. Just used it to finish a scrap wood mini workbench that has been sitting around for weeks waiting to be planed.
