This will give controlled cutting depths of between 5mm and 10mm.

Unfortunately I've got already a plough plane and some other types are leading my hit parade (we discussed about it on Twitter already).<br />But I like the idea of the kerfing blade so much that it will be a matter of time.<br />Talk soon,<br />StefanAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17569365598390231433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3841543812574325787.post-50708663653584992762015-12-10T10:18:48.523+00:002015-12-10T10:18:48.523+00:00That’s an interesting concept, though never mind t...That’s an interesting concept, though never mind the price!<br /><br />I hope that you took the opportunity to anchor and pivot the blade clamp in some way to prevent it getting lost, because if the original had one enduring fault, it was that the clamp was loose often parted company with the plane.<br /><br />The kerfing-saw idea is a good one but I’m afraid it’s been around for a while – my old woodwork teacher used a Record 043 with the 1/8” blade for that exact purpose in the 1960s. A 1/8” slot was fine for a 6 point rip saw and you only need about 3/16th depth of cut.<br /><br />One other great knack with the Record 043 is its ability into finish a blind trench if you did not want the groove to extend the full length of the board. <br />However, it requires a slot greater than 1 1/8” at the end of the stroke for the nose of the plane. When I had a lot of these to do some while ago, I found a rusty old scrapper that had the front part of the skate amputated by me and it works well as a bull-nose plough plane to a blind stop on the board. So, a removable nose to allow stopped cuts would have been useful, but it’s just another piece to get missing.<br /><br />But a good looking little tool and good luck with it.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3841543812574325787.post-54063673659966379882015-12-09T20:53:59.541+00:002015-12-09T20:53:59.541+00:00That is a very desirable and tempting looking tool...That is a very desirable and tempting looking tool. I look forward to the saw blades. Once wrote to Thomas Flinn to ask them to make them as per Tom fidgen specs, they said Tom who?
