HSS Miter plane blade

Lanso · Mar 23, 2018

I got tired of sharpening my Lie-Nielsen miter plane blade so I finally got around to making my favorite type of blade. I TIG braze a piece of HSS on a steel plate, grind and hone to aprox. 25 degrees with a little "back bevel" (I think that's what it's called) and made 40 - 50 passes on a piece of white oak end grain and so far I'm happy. the real test will be over a month of real work.

What difference does the HSS make when honing ? what method do you use to prep the bevel.

BTW nice TIG work!

I would seriously flatten the back

Otherwise looks cool, is it M42?

I rough the bevel with an angle grinder, get it close with a bench grinder and finish with a water stone.

To be honest all I know is that the piece says HSS.
And the back was flattened, the photo that looks like the back is the top before I did any grinding.

Do you feel the TIG process has an advantage over conventional (torch) silver solder, or is it just more convenient for you?

Definitely more convenient for me.
