I am going to order a new blade for my Bailey #4.5 and #8 plane tune ups. I was wondering what additional improvement I would get from the chip breaker upgrade.
I am just trying to get good usable planes - I do not need a Porsche - Is the blade upgrade alone the best bang for the buck.
Under what conditions does chatter present itself - is it more of a problem with the larger blade in the #8 or is it more a factor of the wood.
