Thanks, Andy! I don't subscribe to Hooked on Wood, so I appreciate your review of the Hongdui Chamfer Plane.
Cheers Mike,
I wanted to give some additional ref points for those who are considering buying from Baggood.
There are four tools that seem high quality that caught my eye, so will be looking at those over the next few months.
Cheers
Andy
@@TheWoodgrafter Cheers, Andy! I look forward to the upcoming reviews.
great review and demo Andy.👍
Thank you, very kind.
Andy
I use this to quickly tidy my edge-banding. Quicker than sanding
Thank you for the comment, how do you find the ware on the blade with edge banding ?
Thanks for a great video there, I was always taught ( a long ,long time ago) to break the arris purely for finishing/painting purposes and personally don't really like a roundover or a 45 on my work, interesting little tool though, but not one for me. Thanks again, keep 'em coming and stay lucky
Thank Paul,
Just out of interest, what do you use ?
Andy
Good review Andy. Tried one similar to this off Amazon but sent it back as it was much larger than this one. Problem and risk of buying China tools is whether sending it back is worth the hassle and so you could end up with tools that end up in the corner and never used. Looks good though. Keep the reviews coming Andy but please get back to building something.
Thank you,
Agree on the risk of return, that was one of the reasons I wanted to review some of the higher quality tools from Banggood so buyers have multiple ref points if they are considering a purchase. This will be a limited series, I have no intention of going through every tool in the catalogue.
Four tools caught my eye so they will be reviewed over the next couple of months.
And yes, the projects will be back.
Cheers
Andy
What made you grab a piece of mdf for this review? The main reason a go for a trim router is because of swirling grain, you know when it’s hard to tell which direction to start.
No real reason Brian - it’s just what I had to hand. I am into sure this will 100% solve the swirly grain problem in a single pass, the angle isn’t low enough. In that situation I would take very light passes and attack from multiple directions. With the care you need to take with any hand plane it would get you there.
Cheers
Andy
@@TheWoodgrafter that’s what the low angle is for? Great! I work with a lot of swirled wood grain and because of that a hand plane generally misses out
@brianhawes3115
Not sure I get you point Brian. The angle on this device is not low when you compare it with a low angle plane. So you need to take some care with curly grain.
A low angle is better for curly grain, it reduces tear-out when compared with a standard bench plane.
Cheers
Andy
these are good bits of kit.....
Seems very good, and gets great reviews.
Mine arrived and before first usage I attempted to re-orientate one of the blades from Chamfer to Radius and it was already snapped in half. Very thin threw the middle of blade and over torquing by assembler broke it I guess. No response from Banggood when reported.
Thats not good news, strike one for customer service.
I’ll drop them a line and see whay they say.
Cheers
Andy
In fact Rob, can you drop me a note at info@thewoodgrafter.com with your order number.
Cheers
Andy
Hi aren't boys carbide not steel?
Yes they are, must have been an oversight.
Do you need it? No, of course not. If you only want to break the edges, you can do that with a standard plane freehand - easily precise enough. When you really want a chamfer, you can tape a temporary wooden fence to your plane to achieve a higher level of accuracy. It might be useful if you do lots of chamfers in a production run, but you might as well use a router in that case.
All very true,
But there are many ways of achieving the same outcome in woodworking.
As stated in the video I usually grab the block plane and have at it no router, no fences.
There is something nice about a dedicated device that makes it a grab and go foolproof process.
It will be interesting to see what I naturally grab in future projects. That is always the ultimate tell of a good tool - do you use it.
Thank you for commenting.
Andy
@@TheWoodgrafter I reckon if you have it, you’ll use it - and you should, of course. Whether most people should buy one, that’s a different question.
@mm9773 That is very true.
Cheers
Andy
Looks good, but it would be more helpful to see it cutting various types of wood instead of just MDF.
A bit time constrained on this one, it will be put to good use on various projects, I am pretty convinced it is going to perform well.
I’d say that this review doesn’t add much value beyond Dennis’s. Probably best to stick with original products that he hasn’t already covered.
Thanks Charles.
lol a mdf trial
Even MDF needs some love :-)
This review is pointless, adds nothing.
Thank you for the feedback
I’m going to strongly disagree. I bought this plane after Dennis@hookedonwood reviewed it, but I never thought of adjusting it as Andy does here. So with the addition of a few other hints this review added a lot.
@@kylereed3577 Thank you Kyle, that adjustment technique is a good way of gauging the ‘bite’ of the plane iron. Gives you a better feel for tool and the stock.
I was really impressed with the round over on the device, as you cut deeper it gives a really nice bead effect that is hard to get even with a router. Last time I had that effect was with a dedicated beading plane.
Cheers
Andy
Fair comments, I spoke out of turn and apologise. I went back and watched it again and it’s better than I first thought.
Thank you Robert, all views are valid in our community, I only block comments that are vile. You are always welcome to speak your mind. Cheers Andy
