What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Heavy weight makes it easy to do quality planes on dense woods like oak and hickory. Their name has a reputation of quality and this meets that expectation.
Highlights
Quality
It has a quality feel to it and is comfortable to hold and us
This planer is robustly constructed with quality materials
This particular wood planer is made of heavy duty components
Its been a lot of years since ive hand planed anything so it took me some work to get back in the rhythm of using one
Competitiveness
However the price is somewhat on the higher side when compared to similar products
I have a couple of other tools from jorgensen and they have worked well

Even with a fine cut it was a little hard to get the initial bite into the wood

But to be fair this is a dense wood and i normally expect to need to flatten the base and hone the blade on any new plane
