    Has anyone taken a picture of how trapezoidale the Vertias chisels taper? Or can be be compared to a RI or Narex? I'm ready to upgrade my most-used Narex models and was completely ready to swing...

    It's not my favorite, but I do clean up the edges of plywood with a block plane. I figure it'll chew up the edge, so I want something brain-dead simple plane to pop out, hone, and get back to work...

    I have a near-complete set. I think I'm missing the 3/16 and 1 inch.

    I like them a lot--just the balance and everything is spot on. The PM-v11 is just like a cherry on top.

    Heh. Read the rest of it.

    If you, the worker, are holding the wood or tool and can influence the action right now to improve or ruin the work, it's likely hand made.

    I like the idea that Bob Rozaieski put forward. It's "hand made" when a human can screw it up. The example he used, which I think is perfect, was something to the effect of: "If you hook up a...

    Um, what three-jaw chuck? You don't mean the drill chuck, do you?!

    I have the Schempeck (spelling?) version of the saw, which Grizzly rebadged. I use two connectors on the pair of 24" tracks. Huge improvement from just one connector.

    I popped the handled off and it's a simple, square-ish tang. I didn't take a picture, but whipping up a new handle was trivial. I had some maple on hand and drilled a hole in one shot slightly...

    1) I cheated. I bought the Grizzly add on pack that has an anti-tip clip. It's primarily for when you bevel the saw, but it completely solves the tipping issue.

    Thanks. I was mostly concerned with a safe-ish but cheap way to package it. If it doesn't make it there, I'll be sure to blame you ;-)

    Not that you've necessarily got the optimal planes for it, but did you happen to test one of them as a single iron fore plane?

    Using 10/3 everywhere is not a bad plan and I'll have to think about that one.

    I was coming to the same conclusion, though 90a would probably be more than fine for my uses. Of course, 4/0 SER is cheap enough I could do that and be over built.
