Rider - 9 1/2 Block Plane
Jul 26, 2012
Overall quality and performance was good; fit and finish was fair with some rough machining; adjustable mouth did not close down tight, left 1/16 opening; higher profile made the tool less comfortable to hold; responsive to blade adjustments and then held them; sole was flat.
Fine Woodworking Recommended Products
Veritas Micro-Adjust Wheel Marking Gauge
The adjuster runs through the beam from a small knob at the back end right to the cutting wheel, which moves in and out as you turn the knob. This arrangement works well but makes adjustments a two-handed operation, requiring a little more effort.
Veritas Precision Square
This precision square is incredibly versatile, from checking squareness to dialing in machine setups.
Suizan Japanese Pull Saw
A versatile saw that can be used for anything from kumiko to dovetails. Mike Pekovich recommends them as a woodworker's first handsaw.
