Question for the wood chomping gurus out there. I have a hand plane that has a propensity to "chatter" in use. Terry Farrell Don't know that I can offer much, Terry, but these compass planes often have chatter issues. They are a (designedly) light plane that is generally only capable of rather light passes. One other thing you might consider (though you probably already have) is a heavier blade. I can't tell from your photo, but if the stock blade is in the neighborhood of 1/16", you might try upgrading to something like this: http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.aspx?c=2&p=42607&cat=1,41182,43698&ap=1 or this: http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.aspx?c=2&p=32692&cat=1,41182,43698&ap=1 worth considering, William R. Monroe BTW, next Friday I'll be arriving in your neck of the woods for a week. Flying in to Sarasota for a week of golf, beach, and vacation. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
