The Slick Plane comes with curved carbide tipped blades that put a 1/16″ radius edge on boards. Chamfer cut carbide tipped replacement blades are also available separately to create crisp 45 degrees bevels on boards.

good tool, February 7, 2006

It takes a little fiddling to adjust the double blades so that the follower takes just a tiny bit more wood than the front one does. Once adjusted it works as advertised – it puts a reasonably smooth edge on your wood. Does not work as well on end grain, but that would be expected of any power or hand tool.

I use it to quickly “break the edge” of things like shelves, boxes, etc.

I have used a router with a comparable size rounding bit (1/16 I think) and must say that this plane leaves an edge that is about as good as the router, without the time and hassle of changing bits, adjusting fences, etc.

Whichever method I use, I follow up with a quick, light sanding, but that’s mostly because I’m fussy.

Considering the price of this tool is less than a router bit, I think it’s well worth the cost.

Nice Time-saving Plane, May 25, 2011

Almost every furniture product requires rounding over of sharp edges; they feel better to the hand and finishes don’t like sharp corners. A rounding-over plane like this is ideal for the job.

Like every plane I own including old Stanleys and Baileys as well as new Veritas and Lie-Nielson this plane requires some setup before use. I honed the blades and adjusted the blade depth then made a couple practice swipes on the same type of wood I was using in my project. I discovered that when running the plane with the grain run-out it did an excellent job. Against the runout the edge needed a bit of sanding. No surprise there, but then I adjusted the blades for a slightly shallower depth and found a huge improvement even when going against the grain.

The blades are easy to adjust, just turn the screws with the supplied allen wrench. This is good because they need adjustment when going from soft woods like pine to hard woods like walnut or maple. However the adjustment takes only a few seconds, much faster than setting up a rounding-over bit in the router table. I prefer to use hand tools when they can do the same job as a power tool in the same amount of time and this plane definitely does that. It keeps the shop quieter and doesn’t generate dust like a router or shaper.

Take the time to adjust the plane for the wood you are using and to hone the blades just a bit and you’ll wonder why you ever bothered with setting up a router or router table just to round over some edges!

It’s all in the Adjustment, April 14, 2010

If you take the time to adjust this correctly and do not try to remove too much wood at a time, this radius plane works fine. If you buy the chamfer blades (sold separately, of course) plan on taking a few extra minutes with the alignment of the blades. You might consider purchasing a second plane and a set of chamfer blades and have one plane dedicated to radius and one for chamfer of each.

This will not replace your router. It will provide you with a tool to quickly break an edge or again, if you take your time and take little bites, it will give you consistent quality results over a longer length.
