A local community workshop has a bridgeport mill which I recently took a class to learn how to use for fun. I was thinking of things I could do with it and I thought of my Stanley no7 type 11 that is not quite flat and was wondering if anyone has ever tried or seen someone flatten the sole of a hand plane with a milling machine. What do you think? Is this a dumb idea? If you've tried it I'd love to see how someone mounted the plane to the milling machine.
I don't know exactly in what way my 7 is out of flat I'll have to pull out some feeler gauges when I get around to it, but I've always been able to get boards straighter with my Veritas LAJ or my 18" krenov than with my no 7.
