Hi Folks,
Here in the UK, among other things, I write a small half page filler in New Woodworking magazine about unusual tools. The next one I thought I would do is on toothing planes. This one I bought on ebay for a few pounds.

I was wondering if you folks had any experience with one and if so recommendations on grinding angle etc.
They are often quoted as being used for keying veneer prior to gluing. However I have never used one for that. I find is great for tackling awkward grain prior to finishing it with a scraper.
Any input would be much appreciated.
Ralph :) .
