Review on Woodworking Tool: Cowryman Router Plane Handheld For Precision Carpentry Projects by Jay Chowdhury

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Dismayed at the size, but works admirably well with smaller dove/lap joint finishing.

Originally I was a bit dismayed when I opened the package and saw the size I have big hands, make a fist and that's about it. But that's on my for not double checking the conversion. HOWEVER, this little thing works great. The blade was sharp right out of the box, didn't need to tune it (smooth out and level the bottom plate). Works excellent. I don't have dado blades on my table saw (nor do I own a band saw), so most times I make multiple pass on the table saw to remove waste wood when making lap joints and dovetails. Which works but it's not completely smooth, so that leaves chiseling and or sanding to smooth out the grooves. *note I do own a large router, but I keep it firmly attached to it's routing table and I hate taking it out to use it for a few minutes and then have to put it back in* This manual plane does the job quite nicely. Really happy with this purchase. Great work guys.
