thanks for the comment-
if you onlly wa...Alejandro,<br />thanks for the comment-<br />if you onlly want them for occasional use and small runs of mouldings then these planes are very capable. The shape is also nice in hand- most H & R planes are the tall, thin rectangular variety so these will feel closer to a bench plane. They did need some work but for the price I'd say you can't go wrong. If on the other hand your doing alot of moulding work then you may want to spend the money and buy some from Phil or Clark & Williams.<br />Hope that helps!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07416979406500241671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6688442226358931965.post-18468276825863478272009-10-18T22:26:19.917-05:002009-10-18T22:26:19.917-05:00Hi Tom,

How do they compare to the traditional H&R planes? these Asian planes are smaller but they also look different, I was wondering if you can also reproduce almost any moulding with these Asian planes. Woodworking is a hobby for me and I work almost exclusively with hand tools so I want to get some H&R for ocassional use, should I get these Asian planes or I should start to save money for those from Clark & William or Phill?<br />Thanks<br />Alejandro<br />MontrealAlexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836665710678381446noreply@blogger.com
