Looks like another variation of QS to me.

That'd be the obvious guess.

Is there a "brag page" anywhere? I couldn't find one.

.....but without the awful "bling" chrome cap!

I know...I know...you don't cut with the cap but for me...that is the only thing that lets the QS down and something I need in tools...is that they look nice too...

QS No.3 (thanks ALF)

DICK (Ok this is a No.4 but you get my point):

They give the impression that they are milling and finishing...maybe they are in Germany or controlling it in China...it doesn't say...

You decide.

I really like the presentation on those. Very pretty, IMO.

 

[rocksteadyeddy]

Not sure about the brown paint, but otherwise look nice.

Sasdly i can't seem to be able to find a low angle block plane among the qs planes or their clones. Wonder why that is ? I would think a low angle block is a more versatile tool and a basic-kit plane than the standard angle one.

Nice rosewood or cocobolo handles wood be
great on these planes. I´d definitely pay more
for that.

The pale colour isn´t really attractive.

I was hoping there was a whole new range of Veritas Premiums, must be 3 years since they released the blocky...?

I don´t know about Veritas premium planes.

I read about their good performance. I don´t like their look.
Otherwise I might buy a veritas plane. I find the LN far more
appealing aesthetic wise ,but too expensive.

Is that a brown japaning? :lol:

Dieter Schmid sells the Juuma with bubinga and brass/bronze frog.

...and only 109 Euros too!

Nice!

These all seem to be coming out of the same factory...by the looks of it.

Jim and Pedder,

I had seen that plane before. It is indeed 109 euros. The
plane from Dick biz is 75 euro if I recall correctly. That is
a 34 euro price difference.

Is it worth it, the more beautiful handle and brass/bronze
parts? I wish it wouldn´t have JUUMA name on it.

Hi Ali,
What's the problem with JUUMA? I've never heard of them before (except when I visited the Dieter Schmid website a few months ago). Do they have a bad name?

Cheers, Vann.

Hi Vann,

These planes are probably all Quangsheng planes, the
same Matthew sells.

I just don´t like the JUUMA name on the plane. I think
it would look better without a brand name on the plane.

take care,

Ali

 

[jorgoz]

I knew about the juuma, but they only offer a 4 and a standard angle block (which is only 49 euros). Imo the juuma looks really nice though compared to the D-planes.

Hi Ali,

because of Dieter's discount system the Juuma is only 106,72 €.

I think black japanning is nicer than brown and bubinga is nicer than beech. If this difference is worth 31,72€? I cannot answer that for you!

Cheers Pedder

Hi Pedder,

How does this discount system work?

The 109 euro price is written as advertising price. Does that mean
it can be bought for a lower price?

I think I would buy it immediately if it were 90-95euro. The 30 euro
price difference is a bit too much I think. I could add 20 euro and get the block plane as well.

I think the nice bubinga handles are worth 10 euro extra+10
for the bronze brass.75+10+10=95. Make sense?

Hi Pedder,

How does this discount system work?

Hi Ali,

It's a volume discount: If you buy worth more than 100€ you get 2% disount, more than 200 = 3% and more than 400 = 4% The real price incl. shipping can only be seen, if you click un the article number.

Thanks for that bit of info.

It´s strange pedder. I want to buy the juuma plane, but I see
the same plane(bit less bling/quality handles) for 31 euro
price difference.

Maybe I should wait untill the Juuma smoothing plane(it they ever will) will have a slight price reduction.

For 90 euro I woud buy it.

The lever cap looks strange. Is it brass? Will that scratch
easily?
