I've learned to master the short and sides (oh, the pleasure of working with a sharp blade!), but those short edges are a challenge with such little reference surface.

I love it when your videos actually validate something that I managed to learn on my own. It makes me feel pretty clever. I use my 60-1/2, throat closed down narrow, sharp blade (always) and count the strokes. I considered buying a chamfering plane but really this technique is pretty easy so the money can go elsewhere. That's really important in these times. Thanks as always, Rob & co. It makes my day to get that notification of a new Cosman video. {8^)

Great tip tutorial, Rob~! I always find myself going to my router for a round over bit when finishing a project, but seeing this I'm going to change things up. Time to put my block plane to work. I like the look of that chamfered edge as well. Thanks much~!!

I am nowhere near as good as you on a plane, so sometimes i use my marking gauge to cut a line on both sides of the edge, then plane to both lines. Amazingly it makes the process pretty simple and very accurate.

More years ago than I care to share, when I worked making store fixtures we'd break the edges of plastic laminate cabinetry with a sanding block made from a piece of wood with rounded ends covered tightly with a sanding belt. It was easy to make the transition to using a block plane. I never counted strokes; I'd just run the plane over the edge and feel it with my hand to see if it was eased enough.

Thanks Rob … chamfering always looks so easy when you do it … my results tend to differ. Super sharp blade, 45 degree angle, count the strokes, and practice . I really appreciate these kind of videos because they inspire me to work on my skills.

@leeriley9123 Жыл бұрын

Another great post Rob, quick question, chamfering edges pre or post assembly of a piece? Is that depending on the project and where the piece of wood goes in that project. Do you have a preference?

@dukeengine1339 Жыл бұрын

I use a slightly different method. I start from the long grain, then do the width across the grain, so that exiting the plane on a chamfered edge makes it easier to avoid tear out. Then as last I do the shortest edge, the last fibers are well supported by all meeting chamfers. I also put my block plane inclining the blade angle of attack like you do. Comments?

What are your thoughts on a chamfer plane

@squirtlegiles4452 Жыл бұрын

Hi Rob, i have made some mitre boxes from curly purple heart. While beautiful, it's so hard to work. I'm going to slowly chamfer with a crisp router bit. Thanks for the video, I too like chamfers more but always wonder if an edge generally sanded is more preferred by people. Cheers

I hate working purple heart for those very reasons. They edge type is a personal preference

Learned the hard way early on to always add something to break the edges, I was carrying in a pieces I just finished let it slide out of my hands onto the table then was treated will a little blood. It wasn't anything to serious just enough to be annoying for the week, now I always make sure to do something to the edges.

Wow...these 45⁰ angle create a charming edge...for your experience this size of block plane works perfectly...do you believe a small plane like Stanley 100 or 102 can do a decent job ? By the way my hometown now is 98⁰F...minimum during winter is 58⁰F...take care

@RobCosmanWoodworking Жыл бұрын

Oh yes, and do a great job. I use my small squirrel tail plane instead of my block many times, but a block plane is easier for beginners to get and hold the angle. The small ones ate much harder

@CarlYota Жыл бұрын

I just got a cheap 102 for this purpose because it has an 01 blade. Out of the box it’s not very sharp but still worked well enough. Should be great once I tune up the blade properly. I could see it being difficult to hold the angle on a long piece but for smaller stuff it should work great.

For the people who feel they need to lift the plane up after each stroke, do they also feel like they need to lift the saw up after each cut?

@RobCosmanWoodworking Жыл бұрын

I think that is a great point

@rickstewart6047 Жыл бұрын

Lifting slightly on the back stroke while sawing keeps saw dust from obscuring the line. I picked that tip up from the Shwarz. Try it, it works great. I get your point though not going to 'dull the blade'

@DragonTalkShow Жыл бұрын

My one nagging question has been how you get nice chamfers on a box or other application where two pieces meet in an inside corner. Obviously the block plane can’t get that far-do you just get as far as you can with the block plane and then finish up with a chisel?

@tylersmith9868 Жыл бұрын

Chamfer before assembly in that case

@RobCosmanWoodworking Жыл бұрын

Tyler has the answer, chamfer before assembly. But if thats not possible or you forgot then use a small plane (squirrel tail for example) and finish the cut with a chisel or a chisel plane

Nobody will look at a champfer but everybody will recognize torn grain. Sand paper will get the job done everytime perfect,why use a plane?

@RobCosmanWoodworking Жыл бұрын

As I said and showed in the video sandpaper is an option, but if you want a chamfer with a defined edge then using a plane is the way to achieve that look

@ricos1497 Жыл бұрын

I find it helps to do the chamfering at around the same time as you plane the board for the final time. That way you've got a good memory of grain direction and any changes. Given that your performing 6-7 passes to create the chamfer, you'll likely experience tear out in the first couple and change direction without problem. Remember, the plane is taking quite a small cut.

@friedgizzard Жыл бұрын

I will always chamfer an edge before picking up sand paper. The result to me is night and day.

Rob your a professional salesman there's a lot of companies that sell great tools Veritas is one and there prices are alot better than yours your prices are way to high for the average person with tax your saw is around 500 Canadian dollars for a dovetail saw lee valley sell there's for 109 plus tax canadian. huge difference yours is no way your's is 4 times better i use Veritas it cuts perfect just saying.

every time I watch your videos and other planer videos they always slightly lift the back up when they pull back to maintain position but you insist on dragging the blade across the wood to me that creates friction, heat, and dulls the blade so I really don't understand your logic there. with all due respect of course.

@RobCosmanWoodworking Жыл бұрын

If it is dulling its only very slightly and I can resharpen in 32 seconds so its not a big deal. I prefer not to pick up the plane and move it back
