Quangsheng Bronze Spokeshave - Flat Sole Reviews

5 Rating 11 Reviews

Spokeshaves are, in essence, very short soled planes for working curved surfaces. Used for refining convex, biconvex, slightly concave, and concave/convex surfaces after initial shaping with the bandsaw and rasps.This delightful 10½in (overall length) Quangsheng spokeshave is cast from bronze, with a satin finish, and a T10 cutting iron hardened to RC60-63.Spokeshaves are lovely tools to use, especially when you are really 'in the zone' as you need to be very aware of the grain to get the best from them. Always work with the grain, on a straight grained piece of timber this means working towards the centre of concave shapes and away from the centre of convex ones; i.e. always going downhill.

“Looks nice, glides accross the surface of Sapele a lot easier than my record spokeshave after honing and tuning. Really good price. What more could you need from a spokeshave ?”

“For the money, this is a steal! Well made and works well with a very high quality iron. Those used to wooden planes will have no issue with adjustment. I just tidied my sample up by filing and polishing the the bronze cap iron front which had. a raised plaque area for a name but no name, looks splendid now and, more importantly works beautifully !”

“I'm really pleased with this. It has a nice, heavy feel, that sits well in my hands. It's well finished, and cut beautifully. Even on difficult wood or awkward angles, it brilliant for shaping and smoothing. You can remove a lot of wood easily, or small amounts providing a very fine finish, no sanding needed. Well worth the money.”

“This is around my 8th Quangsheng purchase from workshop heaven. I have always been very happy with the quality and value of these tools. I make guitars and so fine tolerances are a MUST, these tools require minimal setting up out the box to achieve this.”

“I have owned a few spokeshaves, but out of the box, use has never happened before. Other spokeshaves have quite small handles however this is not the case with this one, you have plenty of room if you have large hands like me. It's extremely easy to setup and to use a plane hammer for very fine adjustments. The only issue I have is that it's difficult to mount in a honing guide, I own both Richard Kell guides and the Veritas Mk2 honing guide, It looks like I will be doing the sharpening by hand for this one, not that i mind. Would I recommend that you buy one! YES.”
