Kunz planes

[Matt J.]

Considering a Kunz round-faced spokshave. I found them on the Peck Tools website... www.pecktools.com (http://www.pecktool.com)
They're about the same price as the Records for sale by Highland hardware, but I've never heard of Kunz. I asked recent;y about cutting the rounded edges of our floors and was told that if we used a good spokeshave it'd be worth it, if we used a cheap one, it'd be a nuisance.

I have a Record low angle block and have enjoyed those shavings... the more recent have actually been great kindling. http://media4.hypernet.com/~dick/ubb/smile.gif

I have one spokeshave and a scraper by Kunz. They're okay. The quality isn't much different from the new Stanley and Record stuff--20-25 bucks. If you want a decent spokeshave, look for an old one and get a Hock iron for it, or just buy a Clifton in the first place. They are wonderful! Cast from ductile iron and with great steel in the iron. They run about 70-80 bucks, I think. I believe Garrett-Wade sells them.

If you aregoing to go the seventy buck route, I'd suggest Lie-Neilsen tools. I think they have a website.

Only problem is that L-N doesn't make a spokeshave--yet. But check this website anyway. You can see both L-N and Clifton products there. Follow the links from the homepage through woodworking tools, or some such. http://www.thebestthings.com/index.html

Hold it. Now I get it. Neither L-N nor Clifton will help you. Clifton spokeshaves are available concave or convex, but not round-faced. For those I think you have to stick with Stanley, Record, or Kunz for the most part. But the above website is fun to look at anyway!
