Woodworking Tool Sharpness Levels
#5
Welcome aboard Dotian! I own a wood lathe but have done very little with it. Quite frankly I'm afraid of it but mean to conquer my fears one day. I do own a fair number of antique wood working tools and use them when given the chance. A few years ago I decided to build bamboo fly rods and everybody said I needed a particular style of Stanley wood hand plane for the task. If memory serves the plane was manufactured in 1950's. I ended up with three planes but never did get a bamboo rod built. That's another long story. I did sharpen and use them on other projects though. When I saw EOU's message here I ran out to the shop, touched one of them up a bit and measured with my old PT50. It measured 225 and planes quite nicely at that level. I put some more work into it and got it down to 165 and it flies through yellow pine. Wish I had more to add but that's about it.
