Yesterday I made a small iron for one of my favourite block planes, did the heat treat and I must say I'm liking it a lot. I wrapped the iron in stainless steel foil to prevent decarobonisation and the iron came out looking very nice. Sharpening was quick and effective. Ready for testing:

Very interesting stuff, I will try to see if I can find that AEB-L to give it a try myself. Do you happen to know which alloy is V11, or its composition?

O1 = 1.2510 D2 = 1.2379 A2 = 1.2363 I typically get my steel from Germany via: https://eu.abrams-industries.com/steel/steel-grades/tool-steel/ they also list the A/O/L/D/etc equivalents.

If I'm not mistaken, o1 is the equivalent of Werkstoff 1.2510.

Lovely little plane! How did you attach the brass sole to the wood body?

I had the same problem with my dewalt table saw. I use a starting current limiter. I can't post a link but if you Google Renkforce 622412 Starting current limiter you'll find the one I have. Works a charm.
