About a day ago, I ordered a PMV11 blade and cap iron from LV. It was supposed to replace the cap/iron I got on a #604 I just got off Fleabay that was almost gone.
I got to thinking, though. . .would this be a better blade for say, a jack plane being used to hog on rough cuts possibly? Maybe swap the PMV11 to the jack plane and use the jack plane's stock iron in the #604? The PMV11 would be more durable and faster to sharpen, so since I'd be using the jack plane much more than the smoother, I would think it would make sense, but since this is the first PM tool steel I'll have, I'm not real sure of the particulars of performance, such as maybe it holds an edge better than a stock iron and smooths better than one, also.
Opinions?
