Too bad it had to be made in China.... Haven't used it yet but have used other planes like it... It checks out just fine...

Stanley 12-978 (#78) Rabbet Plane

I'd been wanting a Stanley #78 plane for some time, (#12-978) and I saw one available from Walmart. It was $55 delivered. I was reluctant to make the purchase due to some negative reviews, but since I started making and refurbishing some handplanes in my shop, I felt that if it was in any kind of shape, I could get it to work. This is a plane that's been manufactured since the 1910's. The box said "Contractor Grade". The grind was coarse but flat, the depth adjustment lever scraped the plane near the handle. I sharpened the blade, you'll want to do that before you use it. I placed the iron in the plane, but retracted to protect it, tensioned the cap iron and ran the plane over some 220 grit sandpaper stuck to a ceramic tile to smooth it. I used a couple of files to relieve the places the blade adjustment lever and handle scraped. I also smoothed up the depth stop and rabbet fence too. So far, I've only used it on a Spruce 2 X 6, but I have to say it works pretty well. I was afraid that I'd have to send it back as junk. Don't be afraid to give it a try, but then I tune ALL of my planes, this one is a piece of cake 8-)

Needs some work

The blade is pretty sharp out of the box and after minimal honing and flattening you can make some nice shavings. Tuning this plane took some work though. I had to spend about twenty minutes flattening the sole and about ten on each side. Not bad. The fence doesn't ride perfectly square but with some work I fixed that problem. I didn't have any issues with the spur but the screw could be a little easier to deal with. The weight is good and it feels comfortable in my hand. Bottom line, after some tuning this plane is a solid tool. I'll still keep my eyes out for a vintage one that I can restore but until that time, I have enjoyed using it.
