Quangsheng Bronze Spokeshave - Flat Sole Reviews

5 Rating 11 Reviews
Read Workshop Heaven 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.

This is my first Quangsheng tool. Very happy with the quality. Ready to use straight out of the box, With a bit of practice setting the blade it produces superb shavings and leaves a very smooth finish. Extremely happy. I have my eye on the no.4 smoothing plane next!

This has become one of my favourite tools to use due to its smooth cutting and lack of chatter. I am a luthier, and use it to shape the necks of classical guitars, which task has consequently become much easier. It is incredible value at the price.

I have a couple of Veritas spokeshaves which were significantly more expensive than this. I find this one easier to set up and less prone to produce chatter than its more expensive cousins. I reach for it first and would highly recommend it.
