Re: V11 vs. O1 end grain - different results
Response To:
V11 vs. O1 end grain ()

Derek Cohen (in Perth, Australia)
David, your results are very different to mine. I used a LN #51 on a Stanley #52 shooting board, which is a reliably repeatable variable.

I was able to compare Clifton O1, LN A2, and PM-V11. The O1 was by far the worst performer, capable of about half the work of the A2. The PM-V11 was about double that of the A2.

In other words, PM-V11 completed about 4 times that of the O1.

Regards from Perth
