Out of stock everywhere, as far as I can see.

Very good price for the LN 5-1/2 with the rare cocobolo woodwork.

Yes, but where's the fun in that? :LOL:

Ray Iles does a lovely job for not much money. https://www.oldtoolstore.co.uk/contact-us-2-w.asp

Yes, pretty obvious in hindsight, but only after I'd removed every screw I could see...:D

Can anyone tell me how to replace these (which covers to remove etc...)? Can't find any info online. Cheers John EDIT: Never mind, worked it out myself the old fashioned way (trial and error :))

I have a Quangsheng adjustable mouth block plane with the same problem. I have to grind the blade well out of square to give equal cutting depth across the whole mouth. Contrary to popular opinion, I've found the Quangsheng blade steel pretty mediocre too.

Nice used Inca 260 is the way to go, IMHO

Perfect condition, never used. Comes with all the bits'n'bobs and instruction sheets, but no box. £50 plus postage at cost.

Rather disappointing that no-one has pointed out to Swiss Tony that sharpening a chisel is like making love to a beautiful woman...:D

I think PS only uses the glass cleaner on diamond plates.

I know. That’s why I bought one. But was disappointed with the flatness.

I've had the opposite experience. The Atoma I have is noticeably less flat than my DMTs. Puts me in a quandary because I need a new coarse stone and I don't know which way to go...

They feel different in the hand. This may or may not be important to you. It's the decider for some.

In my work, I find that planing ebony is where PMV-11 really comes into its own. It stays "sharp enough" much longer than O1. And to cleanly plane the horrible curly grain stuff that's often passed off as "AAA" grade fingerboards these days, "sharp enough" means "pretty damn sharp" ...:)

about £25 or so.

Yes that's the one. Sometimes takes a few goes to get a reply.

I think that unless you enjoy restoring old planes (and nothing wrong with that) and/or you don't place any monetary value on your time, the Tooltique planes look like a no-brainer for the money. If they are indeed restored/flattened to the standard they claim (and I see no reason to doubt that).

If I buy a plane that needs flattening, I send it to Ray Iles for surface grinding. He does a lovely job and is very reasonably priced. With a nice sharp blade installed, the Stanleys/Records he's done for me work every bit as well as a "premium" plane.

Looking for one of these. The Stanley/Record replacement type.
