Just be ready to sink some time into tune up - This rabbet plane has performed very well. I use it for picture frames. I rabbet out the part of the wooden frames where the artwork will actually sit. The iron takes an awesome edge (photo and video attached) and it cuts the rabbets well. This is a whole lot eas Now all that is given one big assumption--you properly tune up the plane. You will need to spend 4-5 hours sanding down the faces in order to flatten the plane. You will also need to hone the plane iron. This can be done inexpensively with a flat granite tile from home depot and some sand paper. As far as honing the plane iron I personally use the following diamond steel plates: Ultra Sharp II Diamond Sharpening Stone Kit - Coarse/Medium/Extra Fine along with a Trend U*DWS/HP/LS Honing Compound Leather Strop glued to a piece of wood with Green Chrome Oxide Compound, 6 oz. applied to the strop. This produced the edge you see in the photo and the video attached. Dimensions of the plane can be seen in the photos attached. Pros: *Price is cheap *With tune up it performs very well Cons: *Took a while to flatten (-1/2 a star) Additional Considerations: I cannot state how important tuning the plane is. You will have a night and day difference of performance if the plane is not tuned. Look at Paul Sellers videos on tuning up old planes. That will get you on the right track to having a great plane at a cheap price. Overall: 4.5/5 stars (>=.5 rounds up, 5 stars If you have any further questions regarding the product in my review please leave a comment below and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Review: A Good Deal, If You Know What You're Getting - I am pleased with this plane. After lapping and honing, it did a good job cutting both long grain and cross grain rabbets. Out of the box, the machining of the iron, sole, sides, depth stop, and fence was rather coarse. The scratches looked like 40 grit or so. The sole was dished front to back and side to side. Lapping on a belt sander at 120 grit flattened the front to back curve, but left a cup from side to side around the mouth. The cup profile showed a parabolic outline convex on the fence/depth stop side of the sole. Since most of the work will be done on that side of the sole, I did not lap out the entire cup, but got the first 5/8" flat which will cover most of the rabbets I need (for now.) The depth stop was so rough out of the box that it actually marred the surface of the test workpiece. Lapping it to 120 grit fixed that easily. I did not see any marring from the fence, but since it was as rough as the sole and depth stop, I lapped it smooth as well. The iron has a precise, but coarsely ground 25 degree bevel, but the back was not very flat. On the bright side, the back was dished in the center so honing it to get a 3/16" flat behind the edge gave the polished edge the profile of a Japanese chisel -- polished on 3 edges, machining marks in the center. Honing the 30 degree secondary bevel proved a challenge. The shape of the iron, with the tang narrow and offset, did not fit well in my Eclipse style honing guide. I managed to grip the iron in the chisel slot, but the curve where the tang met the main blade prevented setting the iron with enough extension to hone at 30 degrees. I had to settle for something like a 27 degree secondary. When the iron was sharp and the sole lapped, I tested on a scrap pine board. The long grain rabbet cut easily and smoothly, with no marring from the fence or depth stop. I then turned the nicker and cut a cross grain rabbet. Wow, that was nice. I had never used a proper cross grain plane before, and this rabbet convinced me of the value of a nicker. The fibers on the end grain shoulder were cut fairly smoothly, and the planed shoulder was much smoother than I have ever been able to make with other planes. Bottom line: This is not a premium plane. It requires considerable effort to tune, but when tuned, it does a good job of rabbeting edges as it was designed to do. Its performance would have disappointed me if in had cost over $100, but for under $75 it is a good buy. ## Features - One-piece, cast-iron body and handle. - All working surfaces are machined for precision work. - Two cutter positions: the rear position for regular work and the forward position for bullnose work. - Rear cutter has precise depth adjustment. - Fitted with a spur for work across wood grain, removable depth gauge, and adjustable fence for use on either side of plane. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00009OYFU | | Base Material | Cast Iron | | Best Sellers Rank | #586,316 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #34 in Block Planes | | Brand | STANLEY | | Brand Name | STANLEY | | Color | Black, Yellow | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 191 Reviews | | Cutting Depth | 1.5 inches | | Cutting width | 1.5 inches | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00076174129786 | | Included Components | (1) Bullnose Rabbet Plane | | Item Type Name | ST PLNE BLNOSE RABT | | Manufacturer | STANLEY | | Manufacturer Part Number | 12-978 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 1 Year Warranty | | Material | Cast Iron | | Material Type | Cast Iron | | Model Number | 12-978 | | Power Source | Hand-Powered | | Style | Classic | | Style Name | Classic | | UPC | 756635965121 076174129786 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** STANLEY - **Material:** Cast Iron - **Color:** Multi - **Style:** Classic - **Power Source:** Hand-Powered ## Images ![10 in Bullnose Rabbet Plane - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61DcWYy5LEL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome plane for the price.

I am glad I made the purchase. The plane cut well right out of the box. I was able to plane a beveled edge top for an entry table from maple, with no major tuning or sharpening of the plane. The bottom surface was and the edge guide were a little rough and oily, but a few passes over 220 grit sandpaper solved it to my liking. I was able to plane both cross gran and with the grain with little effort once I got the hang of the adjustment setiings for the blade depth that can be adjust while planing with upward or downward pressure from my thumb. All in all this is a very good plane thatbdoes the job and at a very affordable price, especially when I considered buying a vintage stanley 45. This did exactly what I needed. Very satisfied with my purchase. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/7361749-10-in-bullnose-rabbet-plane](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/7361749-10-in-bullnose-rabbet-plane) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-08-08*
