Generally, I do prefer the bevel downs. I wish I could figure out why when my brain isn’t working that they are such a puzzle (and my LN LA is useable).

‘I have a bu jack. There are days that I can use it when I just can’t seem to get either my LN #4/7 or even my LV custom 5.5 to take a shaving. I could, of course, use it as a smoother but it’s a bit...
Not sure what you mean.
This may sound stupid, but there’s days my fibbertygibbet brain just can’t seem to process how to use a bevel down plane. Not sure what the disconnect is, but I’m like a donkey trying to use a...
Swarf isn’t too bad, use the lapping just when you suspect the stone is out of flat. Are you drawing the lines/matrix to see what’s being removed when you flatten? The reverse camber is strange (at...
I’m sure smarter folks will comment but here’s my humble offering…
It sounds like you’ve made sure that the stones (especially the coarser stones) are flat and have no high spot in the center. if...
I use it when I want precision and usually on boards I buy preplaned. The 24” straight edge I would think would work up to 48” boards easily. I’d want longer straight edges for longer boards but I’ve...
Had a bolt together bench we’d gotten off the hog river site a while back for something else that never materialized. Put it together a couple of weekends ago and today rearranged things to have a...
If’h he ain’t, I’m sure one of us would be — hint, hint. (Been rationalizing that the 8 woukd be so much better to straighten the 8 foot table top than my 7 lol)
Have one of those too for airplanes but I can’t remember if I ever used it.
The flat on the leg
Pretty cool little touch that I doubt most people will notice but would notice if it wasn’t there. Coming together nicely.
Then they don’t have to be worried about the probing? That’s good.

sole is flat now. Still couldn’t get a shaving but I (and my brain) was really too tired today to do much more.
Part of the reason for the question. Wondering if I should go out and find one. So far on the few dado’s I’ve done/am doing, I’ve used saws chisels & router planes ala what CS teaches.
Besides Derek, who has used the LV combination plane as a dado plane? How did you like it?
Derek, any new thoughts since your review? ...
I’m going to continue to do as I was taught. I was just pointing out that some decisions are harder to ‘change your mind’ on, eg Charlesworth method. I can’t remember for sure but did my Lie Nielsen...
Do you do it the way the I showed in the picture or some other way?
Chatter is why I abandoned the attempt (primarily) after a couple of swipes.
Tried to plane the bottom because I don’t have appropriate sandpaper. I think sandpaper will be better. Suggestions of what to get and where to get it?

I just don’t have the dexterity to be anywhere near consistent unfortunately.
It is a microbevel on the front and the ruler trick on the back.
Didn’t want to put this on the freehand vs jig debate so…
There was a lot of talk about freehand being easier with a flat bevel ie no microbevel). I find this true with my Japanese tools. I keep a...
As I expected with your knowledge Steve, you are correct. Put it up against my aluminum straightedge and there’s a curve where the middle is high. Here’s where I tried to to show it up against a...
