>With a clean (and preferably waxed) surface, there should be no difference in friction. I don't have the math or physics background to explain it coherently, but if two planes are the same weight and have equally clean soles, the net friction should be the same. The PSI of the surfaces touching the wood will be higher for the corrugated sole than for the smooth sole (less surface to distribute the weight over), but it will all just balance.

I've got/had 50+ and have spent a little more then one of the Bright shiney LNs. Of course if you added in the ones for the dump that might be TWO of those brighty shiney...

>The only way I know of requires electric shock.You must spend big$$$ on electric woodworking machinery until you're so overwhelmed with the wonder of it all that you forget hand tool lust.However,the effectiveness of this treatment depends on how far you are down the slope.For some lost souls it has absolutely no effect.---Jack
