This is for Christopher Schwartz: I saw you once on youtube testing hand planes with a HAMMER no less, that was the most moronic test you can ever conduct on a plane, so, now I challenge you, Christopher to try your MORONIC test on the new LN 610 low angle rabbit plane, I wonder if you’re capable to break this one!

I’ve had mine for a few weeks now, and it’s certainly earned a spot next to my 62 when I’m traveling. My only regret is that they couldn’t magically use the same blades as the 62 so that you could swap all of the options. I knows it’s impossible, but can’t we all dream a bit?

I like mine just fine so far. Happy I bought it.

Niels,

You can’t shoot with this plane in the same way that you cannot shoot on a shooting board with a shoulder plane. The full-width blade would consume your shooting board.

Hope that makes sense.

Hey Chris,
Thanks for the head’s up, I’ve been curious about how the 610 would work in practice since seeing it at WIA last year.
Just curious, what did you mean by “rabbeted sides” in regard to shooting? Did you mean the full width mouth/blade?
