Was that a prototype? Seems a good idea in theory.

I'd worry about the blade chattering or the frog working loose.

An interesting bit of kit. Not mentioned in the Blood & Gore catalogue, it jumps from 292 to 340, no 339......

As said looks like a good idea and also as said chatter may be a problem. I can see the need for one but guess a foolproof working adjustable angle plane would cost an arm and some legs. I have just been working some local wattle and had to resort to the belt sander.

The '339' was a lot number from the Brown's Tool Auction page.

Because if you drop a standard bench plane it might break, but that one is guaranteed to break?Which wasn't overwhelmingly successful, one may deduce?
We don't know how lucky we are......
