Hi All,
Are Ibex planes tuneable, ie, is it worth the trouble?
I bought them long time ago cause they were cute, have never needed them till today.
Have the 1 1/8" and 1 3/4" ones, and need to use the smaller one.
Am flattening the soles (cap tensioned), and am disappointed to see that both have a minute hollow (1/32") right behind the mouth. If my camera wasn't MIA, you could see a picture.
The blades sharpened OK.
The problem esp with the 1 1/8" one is if I grind off more of the sole to get rid of the hollow, the mouth may really open up cause the metal is so thin.
What you all think?
As always, Thanks
