Low Angle Infill in the works.... *LINK*

>It will be interesting to see if the infill design will make for a significant difference in a LA configuration.

My guess would be not. The bedding in a LA plane is so secure, I don't see infill-ness adding much.

>I got to inspect this version of a low-angle infill this summer at galootapalooza from Wayne Anderson. The owner reports that this style of plane works very well, which should come as no surprise.

A couple interesting details: the lever cap of this plane is removable so you can take the iron out. And the handle is quite thick. The overall tool is well-balanced, though I did not get to actually plane with it.

Check it out.

>I wonder if they will offer the plane with an adjuster. Kinda reminds me of the Holtey #98 or was it #99, the low angle smoother. I went to the Holtey site and dont see that plane listed there anymore.

Speaking of bedding, I wonder if performance could be improved by also bedding the iron from above, like a wooden wedge. Seems having the iron sandwiched with wood from above and below would be better. Yes?

>That's a pretty thing (no surprise there...) but I can't see how to advance or retract the depth of cut.

>I pinged Wayne on this and here's how he responded:

"I found that with the plane in question, all that was necessary was to set it on a flat surface, loosen the cap, and slide the iron forward until it touched. Then just tighten the iron and go."

More on Wayne's good work soon....

>It was a 98 and I am surprised to see it no longer available. It was the only one of Holtey's own design, and frankly it really was a bit ahead of its time, being the first low bedding angle, bevel up plane I am aware of that was intended to be used with a high effective cutting angle (50 degrees). I'm sorry to see it out of production.

Re: explanation

>It's scary, in that if the method you describe doesn't work, I'm not seeing a backup plan 'B'.

I will gladly take your word that it *does* work, but I don't like (personal preference) not having control.
