I normally love Veritas products, but this one has me stymied. I cannot for the life of me get it to cut. I have another cheap, curved-sole spokeshave that works pretty well.
There looks to be nothing defective.
It appears that the mouth is just too tight. Chips just can't get in. Yet it comes with shims to close up the mouth even further for finer cuts.
Does anyone own this? What is the secret to making this work? If I can't make it work, I'll just sell it and get 5 of those wonderful little rosewood planes LV sells...
