Juuma block plane

I know it's a longshot, but would anyone have any feedback on the Juuma block plane sold by Fine tools in Germany ?

Juuma block plane can be found in the middle of the page.

No info on this one, but fwiw, it looks almost identical to the new range that Matthew has just started to stock at Workshop Heaven...and priced about the same as well - Rob

Hi

I was in Berlin in december and had a chance to watch the plane. The Juuma #4 has few but important differences to the other planes: The frog is made of a heavier metal and the handles are made of bubinga.

My impression of the plane was quite good but than I watched at the Kunz plus. That plane has some very nice features!

Cheers

I did a review of it last week. There is a link in the hand tools section here over to the review on WoodworkUK

Thanks for the link.

How's the adjustment mechanism ? Are you able to make finer adjustments or is it still quite coarse ?

Well it hasn't got any finer but now I've given it a fair bit of use it's smoothed off a little and is usable. I would still prefer a finer thread but you can't complain at the price.

Yes it seems to be a good price, but have you ever tried the Stanley, Record or Seargant nuckle planes? all of these could be bought from a second hand tool dealer for around £25? and seem to be the same profile as to your German counterpart.
albeit I can not comment on the German plane as have never held one
