On a trip this past weekend, I successfully picked up a set of 4 of the recommended Aldi chisels in Mishawaka,IN. I’ve tried Goo-gone and other solvents to try to clean gunk off the blades, so far to no effect. Can anyone recommend how to clean these so they can be properly flattened and sharpened without ruining my sharpening media?
Brett,
I’d recommend you at least check out the Woodriver 4-1/2 b4 plunking down $$$ for the L-N. I own multiple planes of both brands. The L-N is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship. Technologically and metallurgically, the Woodriver is its equal at about 1/2 the cost. Totes are Bubinga instead of Cherry,and lever cap is stainless instead of bronze. Castings on both are stress relieved ductile iron. I can get the same gossamer thin shavings with either. See Rob Cosman’s comments on YouTube about the WR V3 planes. Good luck!To upgrade ANY iron bench plane, hard to beat Rob Cosman’s irons made by IBC.
