Subject: Re: [oldtools] Scrub planes

 People are getting confused about what a scrub plane is.

 A regular smoother or jack can't take a very big radius. The width of
 the blade/chipbreaker only lets you use so much
 These are just coarse set planes.
 A coarse set jack is more used in my shop than a true scrub by far. I
 use them constantly.

 Scrubs are very narrow with no chipbreaker so you can grind a deeper
 radius. They hog chips faster than anything but they are not the
easiest
 planes to control.
