  • For years I have always wanted to get a Router Plane. After careful searching and reviews I decided on getting the Open Faced Bench Dog Router Plane. Was it worth it ? I saved about $100 on this router plane. In this video I discuss how the router plane works and functions and setting the plane up to get maximum performance. I checked into getting a closed face router plane but for more of what I needed the open face would fit my needs more.

    Thanks for doing this video. I've been wanting a router plane for a while now and just ordered the Bench Dog. As to other's comments about not wanting to flatten a brand new tool's base, this is a very normal thing. Cast iron isn't as stable a material as most people think. At least not until it's "cured" for a while. Stanley used to cast their bases then let them sit for several months then re-flatten them again after the iron had settled. Of course no one does this anymore but I don't think this is any kind of defect. Anyway, thanks again for making this video. Very informative.

    I picked up a used Stanley last year but had not used it yet, making a desk and cleaning up grooves like that will be a must. Thanks

    Bench Dog really needs to pay more attention to their fit and finish. No way would I want to flatten the soul of a brand new tool. The casting defects are also not uncommon. I have looked at a few of their tools and they all seem to have similar problems.
