collinb Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Went to an estate sale last week. If I'd had some extra funds there were two LN planes for $120 ea. But alas. Lots of good deals (and lumber) I wasn't ready for. Still, it was good. Anyway, I ended up with a box of scrapers & other stuff. In the bottom was a LN blade. Can't tell if it is the "Low Angle Jack Plane Blade, 50 Degree" or the "Low Angle Jointer Blade" but looks like one of the two. It can be yours for $35 shipped. US only. Will ship Priority. PayPal accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davewyo Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 What are the dimensions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaziri Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 It is hard to tell which blade that is. Did they not change the steel to A-2 in the recent past? Not sure which steel was used for this blade. Food for thought: just bought a new A2 Lie-Nielsen LAJ blade for $40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is likely A-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the blades I own are A-2. Do you have any A-2 and can you tell a difference between the O-1 and A-2 varieties of tool steel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpt life Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Yes. The 0-1 takes a finer edge that cuts more easily but does not last as long. It is also honed in fewer passes. It fits well into the hone often camp. The A-2 stays much longer with a slightly less fine edge. The 0-1 in my miter plane ends up shooting end grain where I like the finer edge. The A-2 in almost everything else is just fine for utility work with only final smoothing needing a super fine edge. Does any of this matter to me? Not much. As a hobbiest I just want to skip the honing sometimes, but I cannot. Two passes or four? Do I always care or do I just run my program regardlesss of the iron in hand?

I have the LN 48, which comes with a O1 steel blade, and requires sharpening a lot more often than the rest of my LN planes. It sharpens quickly though.
