The longer version is suitable depending on the door's construction. Like any plane it is more difficult to use across end grain, tending to split the trailing edge and catch. Some doors have end grain fully exposed on the outer verticals. In such a case the Surform should be used inwards from each side. **Q: Would this be any good for taking the top layer off scaffold boards and finished with sanding?** A: I would say it would take a very long time your be better off buying/renting a belt sander. **Q: What is the width of the blade ?** A: The blade width is 40mm and 140mm long. **Q: Broken Item has still not been collected, how do I contact** A: Click the options button in the top left corner of your screen then got to customer services 1 up from the bottom of the list. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tool *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 2 December 2025* Great little tool, very sharp did exactly what it's supposed to do ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Files perfectly *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 15 February 2026* Great file, value for money and it’s perfect on plasterboard, ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Handy little tool *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 17 June 2025* Nice handy surform in the tool box especially for those little jobsLike all things it’s not the quality of the 1960s one I inherited from my father and lost but that’s just the way of things but at that price I’m definitely not complainingGetting the shop display card out from under the file was fiddly but I got there in the end ## Frequently Bought Together - Stanley 5-21-399 Block Plane Surform of metal, Black/Yellow - Goldblatt Folding Drywall / Sheetrock Saw, Jab / Hand Saw with Soft Grip Handle, for Wallboard, Plywood and PVC - Stanley 21-398 5-1/2-Inch Surform Pocket Fine Cut Replacement Blade --- ## 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.za/products/48058944-stanley-155mm-surform-metal-body-block-plane-5-21-399](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/48058944-stanley-155mm-surform-metal-body-block-plane-5-21-399) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-23*
