Is a router plane hard to learn to use? I have a need that might fit it well,...It would be convenient if I just use this" IF" it isnt to hard to learn!!
Thanks guys ...Illl have to pick one up and give it a try! Is there a better or preferred brand ? I dont need the most expensive one but just a good user! Im not a master furniture maker but am a flute maker and have an application on one of the flutes that this would work great on.If it is sharp, then a router plane is easy to use.
I wonder about using a router plane at all esp on a flute that is already shaped.If I could use it before I turned it to shape...like when it is still a square blank that would be better but that would require a different approach or a different step .Right now I use a small Dewalt trim router in a box sort of that holds the router and blank in place but I need more adjustment in it so if I am off center I can move the blank more...I have some but it isnt enough....Still thinking.Ok, think of balancing that big router plane on a one inch tube and making a small narrow short groove that has to be accurate and smooth.
I think in this case the smaller plane will work much better.
Maybe the Stanley is better than the Veritas for this?
