Furniture for home

When you going to buy a plane - be it new or second-hand don't buy it mail-order - go along with either a straight edge or borrow a straight edge from the tool vendor and check the flatness of the sole of the plane. Check by holding it up to a bright light source and resting a straight edge first diagonally corner to corner and then lengthways down the centre of the plane. If the plane is curving with the two ends moving away from the straight edge return the plane straight away to the salesman. If it's bending away in the centre this isn't too bad as the sole of the plane can be flattened if the toe and the heel of the plane are in contact with the flat abrasive surface. With either Record or Stanley plane we would recommend that you replace the blade with one of the higher quality replacement blades that are currently available. Clifton make an especially good blade called a Victor blade that we've had exceptionally good results from.
