I have been working too much overtime lately and have the tooling to show for it.
I have two of the Veritas RH plow plane bodies, and a set of all the (RH) Imperial blades. I could very well buy both a LH plow plane AND a combination plane, but I am kinda leaning towards getting the mortgage paid off early while they are throwing money at me with a manure spreader.
It seems to me the combination plane has a pair of knickers and some extended fence options, but uses the same RH blades as my existing RH plow planes.
It seems the smaller plow plane blades are not ambidextrous, but the wider plow plane blades are ambidextrous.
Is there a compelling reason to get both, the LH plow with narrow LH blades AND the combination plane?
FWIW what I am doing right now is making T&G boards to close up the back of a case I am working on. It turns out I am cutting grooves with the grain (easy peasy) and tongues against the grain (which has me looking at the LH plow).
I am willing to put them both on backorder if there is a compelling reason to do so. I am enjoying casework, though I have a ways to go to consider myself good at it.
Thanks
