druxey Posted December 25, 2019 Share #5 Posted December 25, 2019 Intereresting, but the concept is flawed. The degree of bevel will change along a strake of planking. It is not constant!

Worldway Posted December 26, 2019 Share #7 Posted December 26, 2019 I purchased something similar and it was garbage. I would have to say that if they are re-purposing a part (exacto,or similar blade) then it's not that good. By the looks of it, you could make your own quite easily. mtaylor, thibaultron, Canute and 2 others 5 Quote Derek If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders.

Bob Blarney Posted December 27, 2019 Share #10 Posted December 27, 2019 (edited) A consistent method would be to make a 'micro' jointer with a block plane and an adjustable fence. For those who do not sharpen their own blades, a razor-blade plane might be an option. https://www.leevalley.com/en-us/search?query=miniature+planes https://www.leevalley.com/en-us/shop/tools/hand-tools/planes/block/56750-razor-blade-block-plane Here's a review of different razor planes. https://jeffpeachey.com/2011/08/17/razor-blade-planes-an-overview/ Edited December 27, 2019 by Bob Blarney mtaylor, Moab, thibaultron and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wefalck Posted January 1, 2020 Share #13 Posted January 1, 2020 Made something similar up in aluminium a while ago for profiling strips of wood or polystyrene. I designed it so that the material would be pushed through, but turned out that the strips are not stiff enough for this, even with guides. This design is open on one side, so that the strips can be pushed against the scraper and pulled through. This may be a better design in principle. When I saw it for the first time, I had the same thought: why would I pay this amount of money for something that I could knock up for next to nothing with materials that are already knocking about in my workshop.
