Hello all,

Don't get to get into the shop much lately, so appreciate everyone posting here.

Related to a recent discussion, I'm seeking guidance on how to approach dadoes with planes. I currently saw, chisel and router plane, but haven't been super happy with the results.

I've been excited about the new LV combination plane in part because it would be a way to upgrade my Record 043 for plowing and gain the ability to do cross-grain grooves. The Record is impossibly cute, but is a bit small.

I don't foresee using any set up for lots of profiles for complicated moldings.

So my question is, does it make sense to upgrade to a LV small plow and dedicated dado plane(s) or go with the new LV combo? I'm specifically curious about folk's experience with the combo for dadoes and/or sources for dedicated dado planes and best size/sizes. Derek has written a bit on the former and I know Brian uses a HNT Gordon dado....

Best,
Chris
