The groove so shallow that it simply guides the plane for the first few passes as you establish the concave profile. It can be as deep as the curve. <br /><br />A deeper groove is better because you will then be able to use it as a depth gauge. A wide groove is also better because the plane will be steered more accurately.<br /><br />In this situation I used the iron that was in the plane and roughly adjusted the depth. <br /><br />I spent most of the time adjusting the fence so the grooves were centered.<br /><br />MattMatt Bickfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14783755789129013659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1946335513933776810.post-21048235012443515742011-02-22T13:37:41.596-05:002011-02-22T13:37:41.596-05:00Great blog.

How do you go about figuring out the dimensions of your plows? Depth? Width?I can do it if I draw it in AutoCAD but seems there is a better way. Or is this knowledge just gained with experiance?<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />HossAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1946335513933776810.post-65311802348712216132011-02-16T10:43:38.397-05:002011-02-16T10:43:38.397-05:00Thanks for the post.

Thanks also for the post. JohnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
