I know most talk about LV planes are centered around their bevel up or low angle lines, but what about their other planes. In particular, does anyone have any comments on the 4 or 4-1/2 Smoother? It seems to have some nice features, such as a full blade support to the sole and the ability to advance the blade and effectively open/close the mouth.
And would anyone know how this plane compares to the LN 4 or 4-1/2?
