Review on WoodRiver #5 Bench Plane, V3 by Clinton Youmans

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Amazing Plane, Easy & Fast Setup, Spectacular Results

The #4 showed up two weeks ago, and I first needed it tonight. I set it up in about 10 minutes following the youtube video "Box to Bench, Rob shows what to do with a new Woodriver plane" by Rob Cosman. It takes even shavings, as thin as I'd like them (like tissue paper, as a test), and left a knotty pine 2x4 scrap as smooth as if it already had a sprayed poly finish.My #5 1/2 shows up Monday, and I've got a #7 on my list :-)

Pros
  • Smooth and does a nice job.
Cons
  • Dust and debris buildup around the blade.
