Jul 26, 2012
This is the largest and heaviest plane among the winners, making it the best for broad surfaces. Despite its size, the plane is comfortable to hold, with detents in the body that put your fingers in the right spots. The plane has a smooth-operating Norris-style adjuster, which handles depth and lateral adjustments, and set screws in the body to hold the lateral settings. Mouth adjustments are smooth and responsive.

Veritas Wheel Marking Gauge
A wheel-type gauge is the easiest to use, and this wonderful Veritas model is a steal at $38.
Bahco 6-Inch Card Scraper
The size and thickness are what matter here. A consistent performer, this Bahco scraper is found in many shops we visit.
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.
