I just finished up restoring a few old planes and after seeing this I plan on going with these blades if I can. Thanks

I think I'll get one of those. Thanks.

How can Mr Cosman have a patent for the

slots in the chipbreaker? This has been done

before.

the best planes i've ever come across are the old Sheffield made Record planes

Good video Rob, just get rid of the annoying music. Thanks

When you consider the cost of the video, the blades, the old plane, tax & shipping plus the time invested in implementing the fix...it is much cheaper to get the high-quality plane it tries to imitate.

I really wonder why Mr Cosman - who claims the trcik is in the blade and has access to a top blade maker - has not partnered with a current plane manufacturer to produce a top-quality plane at a heavily discounted price. That wopuld be much better for his customers.

For now the DVD comes free with the blade/breaker set and the process takes less than an hour (hence the value of the DVD). The intent was to refurbish that old hand-me-down as a means of getting someone into hand tools! As for the comment "produce a top-quality plane at a heavily discounted price." that would be the "trick"!

Hi, Rob

I really meant it. Why not pick a decent plane from the many on the market now and begin producing it with the new blade out of the box? That woul be far more effective - and useful for beginners like me - than fixing units at a cost over $140.

Good video, thanks

I took a class with Rob this past weekend. After working all day we came back to clean the shop. At 10:00 pm I brought in a horrific 5 1/2 Bailey that I paid $20 for. The handle was busted, the sole had pits you could hide in. We spent 45 minutes prepping the plane to accept the IBC combo. At 10:45 pm ...shavings of .0004" off of this old Bailey plane. WOW!! The best we could do earlier with a brand new Lie-Nielsen 5 1/2 was .0009". Thanks Rob Remember it's not the plane...It's the blade!!
