Sep 30, 2015
This plane was machined well, and the Norris-style adjuster was spot-on. It’s wider and heavier than the rest of the bevelup jacks, which means it takes a wider cut and has the momentum to power through some heavy flattening. On the other hand, the added width also meant the plane was a bit hard on the user and could be a bear to push through heavy cuts. The sole was flat, the sides were square, and the PM-V11 blade sharpened easily and took a beating without flinching.
