Router Plane

[Gofor]

I have the Veritas, and have been happy with it. Visibility isn't as good as the old Stanleys, though. One thing I like is that I can remove the plow head for sharpening, which makes it much easier.

One thing that impressed me with Lee Valley is that they came out with a set of narrow cutters after I had bought my plane, and offered them to me at a greatly reduced price (which I took advantage of). Very good follow-on customer support IMHO.

I'm not sure that's fair. He has almost half a million subscribers, runs a woodworking business, sells plans and templates for furniture and shop fixtures, designs and markets his own line of tools, and runs a mail-order business that carries his brand of tools as well as those of others. Some of the proceeds from the sale of his items go to a fund he created for disabled woodworkers.

He has over 200 videos on YT and the production quality is excellent, unlike many YT DIY videos. Many of his videos are aimed at the beginner to intermediate woodworker, guys like me.

Still never heard of him before this.

You have, you just don't remember. There are so many of those YT channels it's hard to keep them straight. If you do a search of "Katz Moses" on NCWW a number of threads come up on everything from marking knives and sandpaper to shop aprons and dovetail jigs.

Till I watched a couple of the videos, I didn't even know that I needed a router plane. ENABLERS! Now it's on my bucket list of tools that I want, but most likely won't ever use

Check out our own Chris Black's wooden router plane on Craig's list or on Facebook. It has a walnut top and a maple bottom and is sweet. I believe he gets $125.

Can’t believe that Lee Valley considers the KM plane a rip off of their design. The Veritas uses a blade adjustment that is just like the Stanley 71. The KM has a totally unique blade holder/adjuster, which based on the video, is a big improvement.I don’t think that the shape of the base is a critical part of the design.
