Anyone tried the supposed .095 thick Kunz replacement irons for Kunz regular inexpensive planes? Or have a Kunz plane like this and can comment on the blade?
These irons appear to be about $20 - rather than $50.
I've a nice old type 13 #4. Gone thru Charlesworth 'Tuneup' - and the blade will still slightly chatter -mostly near the beginning of the cut. The iron is a replacement Record - I think about 0.78.
After paying $25 for the plane, its a bit frustrating to see thicker replacement blades at $50.
Other than Kunz, any other suggestions for a thicker but reasonably priced replacement iron??
Thanks!
Chris
P.S. - with the WoodRiver #3 now at less than $90, and the #4 at less than $100 - you could almost replace the old Stanley iron, chipbreaker, and lever cap for the same cost as Hock, LV, LN aftermarket - even if you throw away the WR plane.
So same quesion - how good is the WR iron/chipbreaker combination???
