While I'm sitting here literally planing 6 miles or so, mostly with a bronze 4. All I can say is, it'll hit like babe ruth's bat when you use it....

...and paraffin wax every 20 strokes. You'll enjoy the break, and if you don't take it, the plane will be a brake. And you'll break.

If they made brake pads out of the same bronze. I might consider buying some, but perhaps the stopping power only works on wood.
