I had an old stanley 45 with blades. I sold it too a collector for far more than I paid for it. It worked fine for cutting grooves for drawer bottoms, or box lids. It was just finicky, but once dialed in, cut a fine groove.
I want to invest the profit from that sale into the best option for cutting grooves. I like the efficiency of the LV Small plough, but am unfamiliar with other options, especially wooden planes?
However if I bought it LV plough, I would want the ability to use the wide blades, so I would go ahead and buy the conversion kit, in which case if I did that I would also buy the tounge cutters.
Does anyone use the LV Small plough to cut tongue's? I am seriously considering the LN #48 Tongue and groove plane. Will the LV small plough be as convenient, or work as well if I cut tongue and groove panels maybe 5 or 6 times a year?
Also, there is the factor that LV is reinventing the plough plane, and they are not available for sale right now. Anyone have more details?
I guess what I am asking is this. What is the best tool for cutting grooves for drawer bottoms, and is the LV Plough plane a good option for cutting tongue's? We're looking at a $420 investment, which I'm good with if it is the best option. I am a young man, and have many grooves ahead of me....
Thoughts?
