I went a little crazy buying handplanes before my near decade hiatus and return to handwork (about 1 1/2 - 2 years ago).
If memory serves, I was struggling at the time and finally read enough to realize I needed a longer plane (but was still confused by the Stanley numbering system, and Fore/Try Plane vs Jointer). So I ended up with a Veritas #6.
According to my recollection from the LN Course, Medium, Fine video the #6 could be setup to be either a Course for Medium tool depending on the scale one works. What are folks using a #6 for? (If you ae using a #6 )
In case it matters...
I now have a recently purchased LN #8. (I don't own a #7). I have both it and the #6 sharpened flat with relieved edges on the irons. I've been experimenting with both planes. (Next sharpening I'll be putting some camber on the #8 for sure).
In the stable I also have a #4 and #5. The #5 has a pretty hefty cambered blade now and that has been a game changer for me. (LN was selling a 2" cambered roughing blade for a while, I got one since I wasn't yet setup for grinding).
