Long story:
Just purchased two glass stones and found that once my (hardly used) LN low angle block was properly sharpened, I was able to eliminate all machine marks and tear out, leaving me quite enthused for this new-found method over power tools. I've never had a project that didn't have machine marks...
After having spent hours (or days) reading about shooting boards, I'm uncertain about which board(s) types can and cannot do. An example of this is the Veritas board with track and fence (which is available right now) is not the best for picture frame miters, as I've read here in other posts. Picture frames are a primary project for me (but not the only), so I'm hesitant to make this purchase without knowing why it won't work.
Without chewing off too much, I need to start somewhere with a board(s) to help clean up some projects I have sitting here. I only have the LN low angle, and should receive a LN #4 by Tuesday, intended to use for long grain/faces where the mass should help. I'm not against spending...this is not my only hobby and sometimes it's easier just to purchase (as opposed to making) to get moving on a project, and then I can go ride my Goldwing or the mountain bike.
So now the Qs:
If I purchase a LV R hand shooting plane, is there a single shooting board that can cut 45 miters while also squaring small stock for boxes? Or, what would be the better approach for what I'm trying to do?
Thanks,
