I'm looking at replacing my #4 Bailey and want an "externally adjustable" frog. I was looking at the BedRocks but I'm not happy with how the set of the blade changes when the frog is adjusted. (do the LN's have the same problem? Edit: Yes they do) This led me to look at the Sargent planes with the Shaw's Patent frog: http://www.brasscityrecords.com/tool...aws/shaws.html
Does anyone know if a Sargent Shaw's Patent plane will accept a Hock blade and chip breaker?
