Swpeet 10'' Adjustable SpokeShave with Flat Base, Metal Blade Hand Tool Perfect for Wood Craft and Wood Working

I have worked with wood in building most of my life, but Im a novice at working with a spokeshave or a draw knife. I bought this spokeshave just for hobbies and I am really surprised at how well it works. I have used it on three projects so far that all involved wet Hickory and it is still sharp. It feels balanced when I’m using it. It comes with a great price. I highly recommend it.

I just spent 3 hours tuning this thing up with 80 grit sand paper. The blade is hardened which is nice, but the back and bevel were nowhere close to flat. The sole of this spokeshave is painted and no flat either. I also feel like the back of the mouth is at a weird angle to how it fits in the hand that could be just me. And lastly the adjustments finicky you need to make sure the blade is in full depth then you have to take the faceplate down which isn’t a huge issue it’s just a pain to tune in at first. Over all it’s a cheap tool and I did expect to have to put some work into to make sure it tuned in, but I wasn’t expecting that much. If you join this venture make sure you have a 1x2 magnet to give you a good grip on the blade while you flatten the back of this thing on 80 grit paper.... you’ll want to be comfortable haha

I just bought this to shave a little off of one of my doors. Its size made it easy to get all the way to the bottom of the door.

Some products you get what you pay for, others surprise you. This one, in my experience, is of the latter. I picked up this tool for a few canoe paddles I carved out for friends in the past year and the tool worked great. Easily adjustable, and worked like a charm once it was properly sharpened. However, the materials began to show their true colors about a month in when some of the metals started to deform. Fast forward about 6 months, and the soft brass of the tensioning screw on the hold down plate (large reddish triangular plate seen in the stock photos) was completely work down, making it impossible to achieve a decent level of tension to hold the blade in place. More so, when I attempted to swap it out with a stainless screw, the brass one sheared off in the plate and making this serviceable tool a new paperweight on the bench. Being soft brass I can likely repair it with a bit of time and a thread tap. But would it be worth the time? Does it work? Yes. Is it a cheap tool? Yes. But considering the cost and use case, it might be worth considering before jumping head first into a much more expensive spokeshave. This might be a useful tool around the shop to learn on or perhaps have around for those few and far between uses that call for it. But if you are going to be carving rounded edges (or in my case canoe paddles) by hand much more frequently it may be worth the investment to pick up a more refined variant of this tool.

It came adequately sharpened. It actually needed some additional set up but I expected that. I spent maybe 3 minutes on the whetstone then about a minute stopping with leather it to razor sharpness. It took longer to adjust the depth but once I got it tuned up it was taking paper thin peelings from my maple longbow. I am very happy with it. I've been shaving it for about three hours now. It hasn't lost any sharpness so it is obviously good quality steel. Some are complaining about sharpness but their complaints are probably misdirected. The secret is to get it adjusted properly and used properly. It's like any other planer you can buy. Even the high quality planers need regular sharpening stropping and adjusting. I recommend this one for occasional use. If you're a pro, maybe spend the money for a better one. Forthe backyard or garage use this is a great buy.

Not sure why there are so many good reviews on here. The quality must have really gone down hill. The size and shape are what I needed but I will be looking for a replacement blade for sure. The blade on this is amazingly dull and the one I have received couldn't even begin to do what the pictures show. Very misleading.

It's easy to use!

Okay for the price, awesome. I almost made my own until I saw this for less than $10 U.S. It is a little hard to adjust to the perfect height. I tested it out on a switching grain Purple Heart. If you know wood, you know this is a hard wood. With the grain it was wonderful right out of the box. A soft wood would shave like butter. I have readjusted this thing about 20 times. I keep getting too deep, or not touching. This is my issue, I am just stating how much I have worked to dial it in. Each wood is different also, with that said a softer wood is probably going to shave differently. 4 stars because of my struggles to set the blade depth easily. I am happy with the factory edge, it was sharper than I expected. But I don’t do factory edges, I am going to hone it to my standards and give it another go. I will probably come back and give this 5 stars once I am finished. A sharp edge will change the amount that it digs into the wood vs how much is shaved off the wood. Recommended, will buy again. (If needed)

Den är svår att få bladet jämt på och släpper lätt på inställningarna, fungerar ok om du ska använda den någon gång om året, annars så rekommenderar jag ett märkesverktyg.

Con un buen ajuste de la cuchilla funciona bien, pero o cuchilla se mella pronto

Nice and sharp . Had to reset the blade and now works just fine.

Per me e' stato molto utile per piallare il telaio di una vecchia porta. Dopo aver regolato bene la lama la pialla funziona perfettamente.
