Being my first post in the Neander forum,I would like to say I have been lurking around here for a while and have learned ALOT!Thank you all for your invaluable advice and informative posts.:)
I am following the school of thought for minimum hand plane purchase as such:60 1/2 block,(I have both the LN LA block,and rabbet),#4 or 4 1/2 smoother,and then a #7 jointer.Well,I already have slipped on the slope,so I will own many more.My question is basically the title of my post.I have asked for the LV Low angle Jack as a birthday gift($200 limit or I wouldnt ask this question).Will it work as a substitute for the #4 or 4 1/2,If I buy all three interchangeable blades:confused:?Or at some point will I still want to purchase a #4?Thanks in advance for your replies.
