    Default Tuning a Veritas Plane

    How much tuning is required on a veritas plane before use? I know that at least a few people out there have the low angle smoother. How much tuning did you have to do before use?

    Mat, 2 of the LA Jacks I have played with recently required nothing other than the blade giving a touch up.

    I recently got an LA block in The Great Bessey Buyup and all I had to do was sharpen and set the blade.

    I imagine that the smoother would be the same.

    I actually didn't sharpen the blade even.

    (Was waiting for the Mk2!)

    I have five ( ) LV planes and all were stupendous right out of the box.

    Cheers,

    I got a low angle block, never checked nuffin', just honed the blade.


    I just acquired a LA Jack via the Bessey splurge, everything on the body is pretty darned square. One blade was almost flat, only took a couple of minutes, the other was OK, except for a lil' bit right at the cutting edge on one corner, toss up wheter to sharpen it out or flatten, I sharpened, didn't take too long.
    Boring signature time again!

    Did you at least shake the dust cloth before wiping it down when it came out of the packing?
