TheFatBaron Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 To compliment the new power tools, I'm going to buy a Veritas BU Jointer plane, for those times when my #5 just isn't big enough. A higher angle blade would help deal with grain changes, but I'm thinking, instead of buying a second blade, why not just put a 38° "micro" bevel (or pick your own angle) on the included 25° blade? Once established, it's just like any micro-bevel, yes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpt life Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Yes. This is common enough practice with the LA planes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFatBaron Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Ok, good to know. I didn't actually see anyone doing this and started to wonder if I was missing something obvious (most people just talk about 1-2° micro bevels).

Tpt life Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 The discussion tends toward grind angles as opposed to micro bevels. I think that is just easier to manage with a power grinder and minimizes the time spent hand honing. If you want to walk a steep micro and increase the primary grind over time, I don't see anything to stop you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
