    slotted blade in small planes
    That's a different beast. The toothed blade is meant to reduce tear out in tricky grain. They leave a rough surface. In the corrugated plane, the corrugations are in the sole of the plane. The blade is usually a normal blade.

    Hi,
    it's worthwhile buying the corrugated sole handplanes - not because they make planing easier but because it could be possible to make a profit that enables one to buy an LV handplane.
    I went to the Auckland (New Zealand) annual Antique Tool auction last weekend and planes with corrugated soles were selling for 3 times the price of the equivalent model with the flat sole, e.g. $90 NZ as opposed to $25 NZ for a Stanley No 5.
    Caution: it may just be this year's fashion among tool collectors, e.g. I picked up a set of 5 English heavy mortise chisels, good condition, for $49 NZ. In previous years, these have gone for much more but this year they seemed to be out of fashion as no collectors were interested.
