Tools and Hardware Reviews of Kunz 151 Flat SpokeshaveCustomer Review: not the tool for the job Summary: 3 Stars
The performance of the tool is compromised by manufacturing compromises. The body of the tool is cast and painted, which is OK for the handles but the blade rests on this uneven surface which results in chattering accross the wood. The tool also clogs up immediatly. For the time I spent trying to tune it up to make it useful, I could have bought a tool with a machined bed and a high-quality blade. Google spokeshave and buy a better tool - that what I ended up doing.
Also - skip the honing guide offered as a companion purchase. The blade is too short to fit in the guide, so it is useless.
