How To Plane Perfect Chamfers & Radiuses With EZ Edge | Deep Dive | Woodpeckers Tools

[@Psychlist1972]

I got these back when they were a one-time tool. I really like them. That little plastic reassembly tool is helpful. It wasn't part of the kit back then. I encourage you all to list it as a separate item you sell for folks with old kits, or who need a replacement or spare.

Can you guys add a 1/16” round over blade to the options? It would be great to leave at a preset depth and is small enough to leave a good finish without having to move the blade. I love the chamfer blade for this. I just pull out my ez-edge and zip zip zip, light chamfer on each edge. I would also consider closing the throat down to add more support in front of the blade. That would be nice when starting on a really short edge.

[@FireFire_HehHeh]

1/16 would be amazing. I'm thinking of getting the 1/8 and really backing off for easing cabinet door edges. Using a sponge on a sander now. At $1 each sponge, and the maple slices through that sponge in no time. I'd rather use this than a block plane for this function. Set it and forget it, one swipe and done. Would fly through a stack of doors.

[@mla1927]

Was wondering about 1/16" too.

[@jamescollier2370]

I believe that a minor "wiggle" in an edge chamfer is desirable. I want my work to look like it was made by human hands, not in a factory by a perfect machine. Many times, I have sighted down the length of a molding on a 19th-century cabinet and felt a connection with the long-deceased cabinetmaker who cut that molding with a plane or a series of planes. It's never perfectly straight and I love that character.

[@Gorango27]

Perfect timing, I just got mine! I was hoping in this video you would explain how adjust the blade for various depths and avoiding blowouts on mating corners.

[@WoodpeckersLLC]

Mating corners: Do the end-grain first. Come in from both ends, if possible. Then your long-grain cuts should finish cleanly. Learning how much depth of cut to take comes with practice. Harder woods need lighter cuts, softer woods can take heavier cuts. A little less than half a rev on the wheel is a good general purpose starting point.

[@Borescoped]

I’m surprised that you didn’t cover how to sharpen the blades for this tool. Will that be in a future video?

[@Baziell]

I was wondering how to sharpen them aswell.

[@daveklein2826]

Buy diamond sharpening tools

[@jtome12]

I wondered about that too.

[@WoodpeckersLLC]

Trying to keep it tight. Check out the product video on the linked page. I cover it there. Might go deep on it someday soon.

[@klausschleicher523]

Every time I watch one of your videos, my bank account is crying. ;-)

[@williamjplummer8790]

SOLD and thanks.

[@ArmyVet76]

Please JUST TAKE MY MONEY 💰 🤣 I really do enjoy Woodpeckers tools. Only problem is then if I buy one my wife gets to match what I spend. 😂

[@toolchuck]

Buddy, you're lucky! I'm on a 2 to 1 ratio, I spend $1 she spends $2 🤦‍♂️. But you know what? It's ALL GOOD! 😎

[@ArmyVet76]

Well I do have to build her whatever she wants when I get a new tool also 🤔 Great way to break them in

[@marcovelez942]

Question: would you recommend that Chamfer Tool to be used on anything other than wood? For example: I make charcuterie serving board and backfill the live-edge with resin/epoxy so some of these boards can have wood & epoxy which I normally use a router to create a profile on the edge however this tool could do the trick. Cant wait to hear back

[@WoodpeckersLLC]

Should handle the epoxy with no problem. Might have to take very fine cuts to prevent chatter, but it will cut it fine.

[@tombabington2823]

Nice product! Can the cutters be sharpened? Also your benchtop is nice. Is it a laminate product? Thanks!

[@WoodpeckersLLC]

Yes, the cutters can be sharpened. For the most part, you only need to hone the flat side. It doesn't hurt to use a profiled leather strop to hone the bevel, but don't try to grind the bevel.

[@encapsulatio]

How can you make just by hand dowels in a precise way?

[@edwinj1510]

How do you sharpen the blade(s) ?

[@WoodpeckersLLC]

Hone the flat face on a fine bench stone.

[@LanceNYC]

Rank beginner here, forgive obvious question - with the Chamfer blade, I can control the depth to create just a very small chamfer - is that correct? The chamfer in the video is somewhat pronounced, I just want a tiny detail on the corner. If I had to guess, it would be a flat spot maybe less than 1/16.

[@WoodpeckersLLC]

Yes, you can. you can make it as small or as large as you want.

[@LanceNYC]

@@WoodpeckersLLC Thank you!

[@satnamboll]

I feel compelled to buy it and then do some chamfers....is it just me? Also, do you have a stockist/supplier in the UK? Many thanks.

[@MrJgolubov]

Can you use the corner planes to make the dowels used in you dowel jig?

[@MrJgolubov]

In your morty jig

[@WoodpeckersLLC]

Sorry, no, for two reasons. 1) The radii on the Morty tenons are metric. and B) When a corner is cut completely away the EZ-Edge doesn't have anything to guide by.

[@MrTooTechnical]

you compared a bronze, perfect lie-nielsen, to your plane. I see. nice tool, but i would like to see more cutters to make the price easier to agree with.

[@jonycliff]

Hi WP, whats the name of the intro song???

[@beaverdriller1]

Are the blades hard to sharpen?

[@WoodpeckersLLC]

Just hone the face on a fine stone. Easy-peasy.

[@Mike--K]

I have lots of Woodpeckers products, but I'll pass on the EZ Edge. To me, this is a solution looking for a problem, and I have never had an issue using a block plane to chamfer an edge. I was taught decades ago to reference the angle of the plane body to the work by using my finger tips.

[@ms22401gal]

Seriously, other than those with sponsors or big time 6 figure salaries, who can afford these tools?

[@JeffRL1956]

Please post links to all of your comments on sites for Rolls-Royce, Ferrari, Rolex, Gucci, etc where you said the same thing.

[@ms22401gal]

@@JeffRL1956 Oh, please. What a ridiculous argument. How about you address my question

[@karenstein8261]

Now, for the tough question: Why should I buy this $159 tool when I can get a cheap Chinese clone for $25?

[@henrydiaz720]

Damn. That sound. Why doesn't my plane sound like that?
