Bench Dog No. 4 Hand Plane: User? Or Loser?

Bench Dog hand planes, sold by Rockler, join the ranks of other planes manufactured overseas seeking to provide good performance at an economical price. Randy Maxey takes a closer look at the Bench Dog No. 4 Smoothing Plane. It's an "out of the box" experience where he takes a new plane and evaluates it for form and function. Then he looks at how much "fettling" or tuning it requires to obtain acceptable results.

Thanks for the belated review. I think I'd rather wait until Woodcraft has their Woodriver planes on sale. The Woodriver planes seem to be better made, require less work to set up, and include some additional features that, while not essential, makes using the planes easier.
