jmaichel Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 For the last couple of years I have only had one blade for my LN 62, this worked fine for all of my bench plane operations up to this point and not needing more than one blade was kind of my mantra for awhile. I am building the outdoor bench and am using some African Mahogany that has some gnarly grain patterns in it and is giving me a bit of trouble. I broke down and ordered a second blade and put a 50 degree secondary bevel on it. It has worked out pretty well but there are some grain patterns that almost warrant the 90 degree blade. Anyway, Eric you were right all along, There is a need for a second and even third blade for the No. 62. I will probably just end up with a dedicated smoother at some point in the near future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmaichel Posted August 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 I am about to be wrong on a for a second time too. I have always hated the idea of a shoulder plane but I will tell you what, after cutting a bunch of tenons recently I wished I had a shoulder plane. Wrong twice in one day!

ponderingturtle Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Say is isn't so!!! Oh well...........even a broken clock is right twice a day. But one that runs backwards it twice as good as it is correct 4 times a day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
