I have been unable to reach either Blackburn Tools or Bad Axe tools. So I am going to make my own kerning plane/saw. I think I can improve on the designs I have seem from others.
How about:
1. Adjustable depth of cut via thumb screw
2. Adjustable angle of attack
3. Spring tensioned blade that retracts into the body of the plane
4. Adjustable spring tension
5. Replaceable blade
6. No fence, or one, or two adjustable fence
7. A plexiglass window to see the inside of the plane
8. Markings on the window to indicate depth and angle
I could:
a. Set the depth of cut to 1/2"
b. Lift the nose of the blade to make it easier to enter the wood and prevent clogging
c. Push the plane and fence flat against the wood, compressing the internal springs causing the blade to retract into the bode of the plane while it is stationary
And as I push the plane, the blade automatically descends into the wood until it reaches the full 1/2" depth when it no longer takes a cut.
Also, if I have two fences, I can just sandwich the board which would make kerfing the end end grain on narrow boards easier.
What do you think?
