## Description

desertcart.com: Cowryman 003 Router Plane, Fourth-Generation, One-Piece 8mm HSS Cutter | Compact fourth-generation body, raised handles, smoother edges, improved base, for dados, grooves and tenon cheeks : Tools & Home Improvement

Review: A very good tool - This is solid and a great buy at the price. Works great. Router planes are very simple, so it just needs to be flat (it is) and hold the blade securely (it does). The rest of the performance is from how sharp you keep it and how you use it. I think the advancement screw is solid enough, and it is made from common parts you can replace if you are at all handy. Everything is secure and takes force pretty well. One advantage to this model is that you can use square stock to make custom width cutters by cutting a notch for the advancing screw--very easy and saves money. You can use something like HSS this way if you desired. Also the straight square cutter stock makes this very straightforward to sharpen, easier than bent designs. So a good choice for beginners. Simple all around, which is a plus. Router planes are best for cutting slots for shelves or rabbets for boxes/cases. Very good for small lap-type joints as well. If you are good with a chisel you can reserve it for the finishing cuts. I will keep using this model for a while and given the simplicity of this kind of tool, I wonder if I'll ever really need to upgrade.
Review: Great engineered tool - I was looking for something to help speed up the "grounding " step of my panel relief carvings. Looked at several makes and models of hand routers and settled on the .003. Out of the box it performed like a througbred. After most of the background wood has been removed the .003 was used to level and clean the areas up. It performed beautifully. Cutting tissue thin curly chips. It cut with and against grain, also cross grain very well, without need for sanding. Cuts were made at 3/8inch depths without chatter or floating of the tool. The total depth of the 8mm blade could be extended to 1inch if needed. Very well engineered and constructed and worth the price. This tool is going to get alot of enjoyable work in the future. Unless abused, this is a generations, hand-me-down tool.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are additional cutters available? Not much value in tool without them.**
A: @Joshua A Stedman,

I am not sure about the assertion is entirely correct when you say that "It is the only one you'll ever find for $50...".   Veritas sells their router plane for $55 normally.  

while you suggest it's basically a 1/4 metal lathe cutter, it clearly has some additional work required to accommodate the depth. the accuracy of milling a HSS cutter so that it fits is out of the grasp of many home woodworkers.

i'm sure this is a fine router, but you are a bit dismissive of a legitimate point made by OP, for many home woodworkers, this would be a disposable tool if there are not easily accessible replacement bits.

**Q: Where can you get replacement irons for this?**
A: cowryman now offering replacement irons in different sizes,please reference to the link https://www.amazon.com/Cowryman-Router-Plane-Replacement-Blades/dp/B077WVM66S

**Q: how wide is the cutting plane?**
A: the Blade Size: 0.31in
The bady plane is 4.13in in length, 2.75in in Width

**Q: Will this item have its own storage container inside the manufacturer's packaging when I receive the item?**
A: No, it came in a box but no storage container

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent router plane for the price but has a hidden problem!
*by C***H on June 25, 2019*

I am not enough of a woodworker to spend over $150 on a premium brand router plane and this tool gets the job done... for the most part. It is rather small, so if you are routing out an area more than a couple of inches wide in any direction you will have trouble keeping the sole registered firmly on the work. But MUCH MORE IMPORTANTLY, the sole is not stainless steel... I believe it is aluminum. This is a problem because it leaves dark smudges on the surfaces around the cutting area. I suspect that even if you polish the sole it would still be an issue, since aluminum will oxidize so quickly. The best solution (apart from fabricating a replacement sole from iron or steel) would probably be to attach a thin hardwood sole to the existing base. There are countersunk holes on the bottom of the base to attach the handles which could be used for this, or you could drill new ones. This would also allow for a wider sole, making the plane easier to use for routing out larger areas. One last thing: The thumbscrew to lock the blade in place is not great, very difficult to get it as tight as it needs to be. Luckily the manufacturer is aware of this issue and now ships a replacement screw with a locking lever. The lever has a button on it so once it is tight it can be swung around to whatever angle you like.
