Disappointed May 18, 2010

I own the smoothing and jack planes that are part of this new series of Sweetheart planes from stanley. Both the smoothing and jack planes were impressive right out of the box. They both required some work, honing of the blades and smoothing out the sole. They are not as 'refined' as my Lie Nielsen planes but then 'you get what you pay for'.
So when this shoulder plane became available I ordered it. On first impression it is a nice looking plane. But when picked up it was uncomfortable to hold (a bit of a problem for a 'hand' tool) This was due to the sharp edges all around the top and sides. The blade had some serious machining marks and the A2 steel took a LONG time to get those marks out and hone. It did not help that the back side of the blade was not flat. The sole was also not flat and took a REAL LONG time to flatten. The sharp top edges of the planes body had to be carefully relieved taking care not to scratch the front sides and back in the process.
The 92's new design does make it easier than the old model to set and adjust the blade. The heftier body and blade allows it cut very nicely.
For the money I think I would have preferred to pay extra for a Lie Nielsen or Veritas shoulder plane.
I was disappointed that this shoulder plane did not match the quality of its sibling smoother and jack planes.
