Review on WoodRiver #5 Bench Plane, V3 by David May

Not as nice as my Wood River #5 or Wood River #62 . The finish on the lever cap was rough with burrs . The tapped hole in the frog for the lever cap screw was full of chips and the screw was tightened on top of this . Luckily the threads weren't damaged . The lateral adjustment lever was burred which had to be removed . The lever cap does not fit properly . There is very little adjustment on the screw . Loosen and the cap is too loose . An 1/8 of a turn down and the screw is too tight and you can't adjust the iron . Also the lever cap slips out from under the screw when adjusting the iron . Another thing I noticed is the threaded rod for the knob appears to be to short . You only have a 1/4 of a inch threaded into the plane and nut . This could possibly pull out the threads over time .
