  • Woodriver Planes, I’Ll Admit That I Had Some Misgivings About Putting Myself in the Crossfire
    HOT NEW TOOL REVIEW WoodRiver Exclusive Planes Tester: Craig Bentzley fter reading some heated Internet Athreads about the WoodRiver planes, I’ll admit that I had some misgivings about putting myself in the crossfire. Then, I thought about the guy looking to buy his first block or bench plane on a limited budget. Price is important, especially today. (I had been woodworking for 15 years before I could afford my first Bed Rock.) That said, no tool is a bargain if it doesn’t work properly. So, out of pure curiosity, I accepted the assignment to examine and test the first editions of the WoodRiver block and bench planes. First, the facts. The bench planes where I checked them for flatness and perfect until I checked them during this (Nos. 3, 4, 5 and 6) are modeled after the side-to-sole perpendicularity and then test. The sides measured out of square by Stanley “Bed Rock,” which went out of subjected them to a general inspection. an average of about .5°, about the same production in 1943. These new planes In total, I spent about 45 minutes on each as my vintage planes. The castings are feature a solid, machined frog (see photo, bench plane before it was ready to use. heavier than my Bed Rocks, and tougher below) designed to reduce blade chatter, Not bad considering some vintage planes too. One of the shortcomings of the old and a three-screw adjustment system that need over four hours of fettling and often planes was the tendency of the cast iron allows for throat adjustments without require a blade and chipbreaker upgrade.

  • Low-Angle and Standard Block Planes the Veritas® Block Planes Measure 61/2" Long by 2" Wide
    Low-Angle and Standard Block Planes The Veritas® Block Planes measure 61/2" long by 2" wide. The body is ductile cast iron, a material much more durable as well as more stable than gray iron, having been fully stress relieved. The body is accurately machined so that the sole is fl at, the sides are square to the sole, and the bed is fl at and square to the sides. The large side wings increase stability for shooting and the unique triple fi nger grip indentations provide comfort and control. The plane’s adjustable mouth may be closed to a narrow slit for fi ne shavings with minimum tear-out or opened for heavier cuts. Adjustment is done quickly and easily with a brass locking knob. The 15/8" blade, at 1/8" (0.125") thick, is 11/2 times the thickness of standard (0.080") plane blades, and is available in either A2 tool steel hardened to Rc60-62 or O1 tool steel hardened to Rc58-60. The excellent damping qualities of the blade combined with the solid bed and clamping system virtually eliminate chatter under all conditions. The low-angle block plane has a bed angle of 12° and the standard block plane has a bed angle of 20°. The blade has a fi nely ground bevel of 25°. The lever cap is molded to comfortably fi t the palm of the hand, as well as to securely hold the blade directly over the bed at the front and on a large clamping pad at the rear.
