@bobcoz Brilliant well done 😉
Good advise from Alien8.
Try doing a bit of end grain that is the real test to how sharp you have got iron.
set plane on end so it dose not cut and gradually increase depth of iron so it barely cuts take stroke just to middle of board then come from other side you should end up with a silky smooth end to your board.you come from each side as if you went all the way to other end you would get brake out and that something you do not want to do.
for best results doing end grain really should make a shooting board. 😉
for now just have fun 😉
