    Indeed Vincent, that is the only task where I could see the value of a cambered chipbreaker. Usually you don't want the chipbreaker to protrude below the sole of the plane, as it quickly increases...

    Technically speaking, you don't need a cambered chipbreaker, not even with a cambered iron. In the middle of the iron's edge the cut will be deepest, towards the edges it will be shallower and...

    Now you are confusing things ;). Cutting angle is not bedding angle. You can skip all the aditional designators (bedding angle, bevel orientation) when you concentrate on cutting angle. The cutting...

    I think one should be exact in these descriptions. If you could get a bevel down plane with a 37 degree bedding angle, I suspect it would give the same edge life as a bevel up plane with 12 degree...

    In a bevel up plane, bedding 12 degrees, a 25 degree bevel angle gives you a cutting angle of 37 degrees. That is a lot less then the typical cutting angle from a bevel down plane, 45 degrees. I...

    There were in fact two studies.
    First I determined how to compare high angle planes to double iron planes in their anti tearout capabilities, with some measured numbers....

    This is kind of interesting. I thought that we, as a community had this topic figured out completely in uther detail a few years ago. And then new people join the group and it all starts over again. 😄

    PMV-11 is the same as Cartech CTS-XHP steel from Carpenter. We had several discussions about this a few years back.

    I don't know where they make this steel. They do have a plant in China. There is...

    I would be very happy to use my Stanley #3 a lot more instead of the #4, but it is the only one in my collection with a right hand thread adjuster which is a bit of a pain.

    To be a little bit more exact: Yes, increased hardness increases the abrasion resistance of a steel, as long as we talk about the same composition of the steel! Adding a lot of chromium to a steel...

    Every old plane, wood or metal, I have refurbished had a dip in the sole just in front of the mouth. That is what makes the tight mouth such a red herring. Maybe on a brand new plane, properly...

    For smoothing, but also for jointers and tryplanes, the chipbreaker is vital to prevent tearout in a bevel down plane.

    To sum it up in a few words:
    When you still get tearout, the chipbreaker...

    There is a ropetrick in this picture. Look how the beam is clamped to one of the poles of the resawing contraption. They use a toggle to draw the rope tight.
