Other older Wooden Planes you wood hit the end with a wooden mallet.

That is one Great Job Stewie, so, I will just keep Drooling.

To loosen the plane blade you will not strike sharply in line with the blade as you will damage the plane and I will damage you. We compromise by striking down on the toe or in line at the rear. 45 degree bed.

You have the perfect spot for a strike button. No compromise.

I find toothed blades very hard to find, so would have been very interested in knowing a technique to tooth one.

Looks like LV have been busy.

How far up the blade does the toothing go?

These BU Toothing Irons being offered are well suited to bench plane's with an adjustable mouth opening, as sold by LV & Veritas. By the time you fit the cap iron I have some reservations that these BU irons would work too well on a non adjustable bench plane due to a tighter throat clearance. The high profile depth of the cutting teeth especially on the coarse and medium irons concern me a little. The bed wall of the mouth opening is going to assist in the capture of the wood shavings between the gaps of each tooth fairly quickly.

Having built a BU Toothing Plane and then compared it to the performance of a BD, my preference is a BD, at or close to 90 degree bed.

My comments should be viewed as just a personal opinion on this subject of BU toothing irons.

I toothed one by scraping it in with a hacksaw blade.

It worked, sort of, but it was a lot of slow work.

Looking at some of my old toothing irons, none of which look like the LV irons, the serrations appear to mostly be stamped in one at a time like a file maker chisels the teeth of a file.

Two Euro ? German possibly, blades I have, which were made ci 1980s look like the serrations were rolled up the blade, with some special tool made for the job.

These guys have one too:

The tooth profile on the ECE toothing iron looks to be ideal for use on a high bed.

thanks to all that hijacked planemakers thread with info on where to get toothing irons... I missed an ebay auction for a Sargent brand coffin toother which is a cow as I 'collect' Sargent planes. the ECE blade looks ideal. Again, thanks to all... will definitely get some toothing irons.
