Quick question, my wife wants me to make a batch of these trivets for her family, same design her grandpa used to make. In the past I used my router table, but with roughly 60 passes per trivet something always gets chipped out etc. And frankly I just done enjoy using the router table.
So while usually skeptical of tool purchases she is endorsing a router plane. My question is that I need a 3/8 blade, I had wanted veritas based on several articles but find that the have tons of small blades but then go right from 1/4 to 1/2 and then 3/4.
Lie nielsen on the other hand comes with the 3/8. Am I missing something on veritas? Otherwise in this case lie nielsen is cheaper, any reason not to go with it? It seems to have less blade selection but happens to have the one want the most.
