| Adam |  ArpsJanuary 6th, 2008 04:25 AM Vendor 619 (OWWM listed as Arps Corporation) made it. It is a bit of an odd bird. There be no chrome plated parts on it. Nickel plated at best. The adjustment knob is substantial, nickel plated brass. It was sold as a SOLID "Quality Plane for Less". In fact; THIS PLANE IS A RUGGED PRECISION MADE TOOL AND IF USED CORRECTLY, WILL GIVE MANY YEARS OF SERVICE. It is still in excellent condition. The owner must not have hammered on/with it. "It's a good tool isn't it?" Yaa... But, it ain't lifetime warranted. This tool is easily as old as I am. :) I got the Fulton, Dunlap, Craftsman, Stanley, Lie Nielsen, Veritas, Auburn, L.A. Mathers, Record, E-C-E, Sargent, and AMT brand name planes. All goodn's, thanks to Norton abrasives and Arkansas stones. I used to HATE using my father's STANLEY smoothing plane, until I fettled it. Now, it works like a champ. |
