I got the flyer yesterday. I'll stick with my pegboard hook. All the cutters are stashed away in a drawer. While the box seems like a nice idea, it takes up space I don't have and the tool isn't as close at hand as I'd like

I'll just comment, Rob, that I bought the blade holder roll from LV for my cutters and like it because it keeps them organized and protected from banging around. When I need a different cutter, it's easy to find and as sharp as when I put it away. Also doesn't take much space.Quote:

I'd prefer a roll-up to hold at least some of the 100 brace bits I have....( that I know about....)
I suspect that the flyer targeted people who previously purchased a router plane..Quote:

The flyer mentioned above was only sent to people that had already purchased the router plane..... as it would not have held much interest for others.
Also - our catalogs and flyers are online on the website, or are also available through our library app for tablets (which is what I use).
Still can't beat a catalog for browsing things like hardware....!

It confirms your suspicion by opening, "If you received this in the mail, our records show you're the proud (hopefully!) wner of a Veritas router plane."Quote:

ETA: and Rob beat me to it. (Customer service direct from the CEO. And some people wonder at our loyalty.)
Thanks Jeff. I know it's a bit like preaching to the converted.....we only mailed it to people who already had the plane!Quote:

Yeah - I can take some liberties with the style of the letter, when I know exactly who it's going to.... :)Quote:

Relatively cheap.
It sounded like you got a lot of use out of it and were simply figuring out how to sharpen it:Quote:

Did I miss something?
Tends to clog up easily. It will also snap the top half of the plug off. Drill press has to be run at it's slowest speed. I Need to hold the board in the vise, to make the plug cut, tends to want to walk across the board.
Yes, I did "sharpen" it.....still snapped 6 out of 20 plugs... Have to drill down slowly, and raise the cutter often, to clear it of chips...otherwise, it will just clog up.
Ok, you've convinced me.
Thanks again, Rob! I still have the hand signed note I got from you 14 years ago with the spoke shave, too. :)
The flyer was indeed well done; it even caught my wife’s eye—she specifically brought it outside to show me. “I hesitated to tell you about this, but it’s discounted right now and. . .” Soon, I’ll be another owner of the new router plane box (and a few other items I managed to add to the order). Please accept and also pass along my sincere thanks for costing me some money. :)Quote:

I currently store it in its original cardboard box and the accessories are just loose in there.
Looking forward to receiving it.
