I am so pleased with my HP-12 PLANER I got to play with it yesterday and oh wow it's everything you could want from a futuristic plane they have pulled out all the stops and now I'm addicted to their tools so saving for the next one and thank you BRIDGE CITY TOOL!
2nd of this type. Used them both today on a project. Nice to have one preset!
1- beautifully finished.
2- very accurate.
3- high end quality.
The only thing I need to tell is that why don’t have free shipping for order $100+
Thanks
I have been wanting the CS-12v2 for quite a while and I was definitely not disappointed when I finally ordered one!! This is not the first thing I am reaching for, for the majority of my layouts. It just feels so amazing to hold and use- the finish, feel, and balance are truly perfect. I'm not sure if its just me, but it even seems like the tab that holds the blade is slightly magnetized(?), and the blade does not move / creep as you are tightening it. I absolutely love Bridge City Tools!!!
Accurate, clean and well considered. Comfortable in the hand, the dovetail guide is handy, too. Will definitely buy the other two larger ones. If a smaller one was sold I’d probably buy 2, to be honest.
My second hand plane from bridge city and truly amazing tools! Detail and craftsmanship are top notch! Well worth the money.
Very easily adjustable and holds adjustment well. Works well for thicknessing small bits of wood. A bit smaller than the offerings from Veritas and Lee-Nielsen, but I find it much easier to adjust than either AND it does a better job than the L-N apron plane (I have a lot of experience with L-N, but only a little with the Veritas).
Build quality is top notch and utility is tremendous. Still figuring out all of the things this can do.
A true “Jack of all Trades” hand plane. Pleasing to the eye and filled with innovative approaches that not only make things easier but also better. This plane will take wafer thin shavings off of hardwood Maple, as well as American Black Walnut or Cherry. But with a quick blade change it will take down the thickness of timber as effectively as my scrub plane. The craftsmanship is flawless as well. This plane is prepared to go to work out of the box,. The Irons even have a micro bevel on them! The iron holds an edge for quite a long time. Yes, I would recommend this plane to anyone interested in woodworking with hand tools. They will not be disappointed.
These are very good quality hold down clamps!!!
Great little plane for those small jobs that can't be done easily with a larger plane, but need the same attention. The plane is well built and a joy to handle and use. And, of course, not relevant to the job, but the best packaging in the industry.
I needed a spare. Really like the 9 never hurts to have a spare. Good product
Amazing tool, I am so happy with this plane that I'm truly a forever customer. Thank you bridge City. I hope you all have been safe during the fires.
I thought that they would only be toys. When I got them, I changed my mind and put them to work in small-scale situations. I build wooden canoes.
Love the ability to use pencil or pin and to be able to easily offset from center. Well made, looks good, and works. Much better than other options I’ve tried.
I purchased two of the MMS-Kit Mini Miter Squares Kits, one for myself and one for a very good friend who helps me a lot. As usual, it is made exceptionally well, with good finishing and is useful to me for small scale projects. It should last a very long time.
These squares are well made (normal for Bridge City) and quite attractive. I got the black version. They are nice additions to the shop. Please make a larger pair Bridge City so I can order those too!
The HP-8 mini block plane is a useful tool for model ship builders for planing wood planking strips to a uniform thickness. It takes up less space and makes less mess than a powered thickness sander.
