## Description

Woodriver #5-1/2 Jack Plane - desertcart.com

Review: Fantastic jack plane - thinner than paper shavings - I spent a long time researching and reviewing jack planes. I wanted to try to get the best bang for my buck. After watching Rob Cosman videos on Youtube, I could see that this plane was worth the money. The performance is superb, especially after following Rob's tips for initial setup and sharpening. I was able to get a paper think shaving on the fourth or fifth pass. It's truly a joy to own and use. And, thanks to Rob for the great videos.
Review: Value and versatility - After one year owning this 5 1/2, I wanted to share a few comments - Yes it's made overseas, but made to a higher quality than you might expect. I did replace the blade with an IBC but the factory one isn't bad, I kept it for a spare, which in my opinion put this plane on par with the best out there, of which I own several in other sizes. It did require a bit more set-up than an L-N , filing edges and checking squareness, if the sole had not been flat I would have ordered a replacement, that is unforgivable even in this price range. The 5 1/2 would be my only plane if I could have just one , it's useful for most anything from flattening boards, squaring edges in a shooting board, just perfect size and weight. Watch video of RC setting one up, very informative, just search Woodcraft 5 1/2 setup.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful plane
*by J***N on April 3, 2023*

Wonderful tool. Nice heavy and solid. Few burs at the mouth, very sharp edges of the sole, small nick in one of the corners. But all filed away easily. I followed Rob Cosman’s video on tuning this plane. Definitely worth it to follow the instructions step by step. I replaced the blade with a Hock blade, after sharpening and tuning I managed to get 0.0005’ shavings on Cherry and was left with a glass-like finish. I didn’t test the sole for flatness. Perhaps I will do some work on the tote to adjust it to my hand. It does feel like a tool that will last me for the rest of my woodworking days and pass onto my kids.
