I’m thinking of pulling the trigger on the LN no. 62 low angle jack. It’s a plane I’ve been wanting for year. (Out of stock at the moment). I will definitely be using this plane for shooting, but also want to take advantage of the versatility of it and be able to use it for general use and smoothing difficult grain.
Is purchasing additional blades, honed at different angles, really worth the cost? $45 a blade on top of $265 for the tool is really pushing the budget for me, but if it’s worth it, I could swing an additional blade.
Would like to hear thoughts on this, thanks.
