    Go to 5:30, watch until about 7:30. Then do this with your plane. It's pretty much what I do with my woodies and any plane I have with no lateral.

    Yeah. I felt that way with the jack especially. It just chews through wood, and makes rough flattening actually enjoyable.

    Even though I doubt I'll ever give up my iron planes, I liked these so...

    I agree, 3 to 5 thou sounds out of spec. I think LN and LV both advertise 1.5 thou. Have them send you a replacement.

    I don't know a lot about metallurgy. I guess if it were me I would try it at 30 degrees and maybe grind back another 16th. Or at a minimum grind to a fresh big burr just to make sure there weren't...

    I prefer the 800 to the 1k. Its faster cutting and tends to have less of tendency to load, yet it is still fine enough to jump to any stone that I would go to from the 1k. Just my personal...
