That clears up any lingering doubts..........the block plane..... always the block plane. 😉

Good comparison! I haven't used the Edge Trimmer but I can say that the low angle block plane comes in very handy for many uses and there is something satisfying about putting a nice bevel or round-over on an edge without using a router.

I agree, there is a joy to doing a slight round over or breaking the edges and still be able to hear the radio and not a router screaming away.

I have and use both, for a flat bevel or an Aris you can't beat a block plane, the Bangood version is nice in the hand and is very well made and while it puts on an exact and consistent 45 without thinking about it I've never been disappointed with the angle produced from a block plane and although the modern plane has a carbide insert (just like a helical planer head) is way harder than the plane iron and has 4 cutting edges, when using it the same section of the blade does all the cutting all the time but with a block plane the cutting is done across most of the blade, another small thing to note is if you are running an Aris on an already assemble piece you can (and I do) start the block plane on the skew, that puts the cut very close to the start with just a small amount of clean up the moden one needs to have the sole registered on the timber leaving a lot more clean up, I have also noticed more tearout than I would like. For adding a radius it works Ok, and I grab it when I only have a small amount to do but if the job is important or I have a bit to do, the router table produces a far superior result, but as I consider the router to be the most dangerous tool in the shop I factor that into the choice as well. About 30 years ago I purchased a tool branded "Radiplane" it was timber bodied plane with a brass V sole and 2 curved edged irons, you set the second blade to full depth and first blade about halfway and it produced a very neat radius with very little tearout in most timbers and I used it all the time, it has since been taken by the shed gods and I can't find it, the purchase of the Bangood one was to replace it but it is an inferior product to the Radiplane. Good luck with your channel Paul. Peter.

Block plane, more versatyle and everybody have one already. You did not touch sharpening yet. Block plane blade is easy to sharpen, what about those edge trimmer cutters?

@hillbillychic3933 Жыл бұрын

It has a carbide blade that you can rotate which is pretty handy but still.. this just sits in its box.. And I don't mind sharpening so much.. That is a good point though, if you absolutely hate sharpening maybe it is for you.

@@hillbillychic3933 Sharpening, I'm not a fan either and was about to buy one of those just because of that. This is how I end up on your video 🙂 When it come to chamfer/round over I use the router table, the trim router or the block plane. thinking about it, adding another option was not so smart. Thank you! I'm subbing cause i like the quality and content.
