Which of the mandrels are you using for the CBN wheel

Find a Stanley 45/55 but you won't regret a new Veritas Plow Plane. The new and improved version has a wide variety of accessory irons that will pretty much cover anything you might want to do that a plow plane is designed for.

Drawn from details on page 55 1989 edition, click on the URL two components a rail and drawer blade <<https://a360.co/2TysWnx>>. Not sure what the criticism is here. I get it new cover same material but the devil is in the details. Earlier post indicated you can't make this as illustrated in PTWFE. ...

Actually I think the perfect tool for corner cleanup is a small bullnose plane with the front slipped off which I guess then makes it a chisel plane. When super sharp oh what perfection to cleanup those pesky corners. A marking gauge to mark the 1/16 trim and a few strokes with the bullnose plane fi...

Routing the arc is a snap following Jerry Bennett's video. Pretty easy to drill two quarter inch holes at a precise distance apart on a batten to use as the pivot arm for the router. Takes longer to put a bit in the collet than two pieces of double sided tape to the router base. Drop a 1/4" bol...

For what it's worth. I just received shipping notice today that an item I ordered back in July from a completely different company, not is any way related to Shopsmith is preparing to ship. I also had and email with a different vendor that informed me his stock was backordered and I would be looking...
