OK. I know it ain't no Bailey, LN, etc., but probably not a Buck Bros, either.
So does anyone have/know anything about these planes? Construction, tunability, materials, ease of use?
If the iron is bad, can you just slap a Hock in there and have it be a decent tool?
I am not a production shop, just want to do a few projects a year. I am aware that this $50.00 plane will not act like a $600.00 one, but why not?
Attempting to break in to a newbie neander mode, and don't want to put down $1500 for 3 planes if I'm gonna put them on Ebay in a year.
So, is this a good tool? If not, can it be made functional? Will it always be a fifty dollar paperweight, or can i make a few curlies and still feed the kids?
