Reply To: Plough/Plow or Combination Plane?

I couldn’t agree more with Ron regarding the 45/045 combination plane, as Record’s 405 is among my favourites.  This doesn’t discount owning others, because having a couple of plough planes can and does help if you’re making a few items and wish to save time changing cutters.  We used to have my grandfather’s #55 in the workshops, but one of my brothers inherited it when he passed away during the early 80’s.

My favourites from among my selection are my #405, #050 and #44 🙂  I’ll try and post pictures of my selection later.
