Woodcraft - Wood River No. 62 Jackplane
The sole needed a fair amount of flattening, but the sides came square and the unit planed well after this work
Sep 30, 2015
One corner of the blade did not clean up even after 10 minutes of flattening. The small front knob was noticeably less comfortable than those found on the other planes. The sole needed a fair amount of flattening, but the sides came square and the unit planed well after this work. The depth adjuster had a small amount of backlash. The relieved area at the back of the blade made lateral adjustments via hammer difficult.
