I Was Wrong This Is The Better Way To Make Chamfers

Making Chamfers is a simple and easy task done with a block plane. I do not own a chamfer plane and there is no need for it, but this Chamfer sled from REED planes has changed my mind.

James, thanks for all your help getting this design to market and for your video. That was a fun collaboration! I am working hard to get backorders filled. Thanks everyone for the kind comments, encouragement and your patience.

[omegaflameZ]

ok THAT is a winning design. I love the KLACK of the block plane meeting the magnets too! Hope Jeff sells tons of these.

[iainmcculloch]

I was angling to be first, but you beat me to the joke about it being acute little jig for a cute little plane.

[clydedecker]

LOVE the ability to skew the plane for end grain!!!! A simply excellent design to make a Wright wrong....

[WolfPawArmoury]

That satisfying click-CLACK of slipping the block plane in has sold me on this jig.

[nexusthane]

It's funny how difficult but rewarding it is to design for simplicity. Job well done to Mr. Reed

[RichardMerrillHawk]

The mark of a fine inventor is not stopping till it's as simple as it can be. Kudos to Jeff, and to James for being the testing team.

Your presentations are great: they're just plane talk.

I have an aluminium Australian made chamfer plane that works a treat. As you are aware Australian hardwoods rate significantly higher on the Janka scale compared to US hardwoods and being prone to interlocking grain add a dimension to the job. Using an electric router is time consuming because not only do you have the usual set up time but you have to make more passes for the job. The chamfer plane can be out, done and put away before the electric router is halfway through the job, plus their is something about just using the chamfer plane that just brings joy.

OK, that is pretty awesome! I will say, Roundovers have their place...but not enough for me to damage a plane iron 😆

[michaelcurry]

If you take the round-over blades to the next step you could cut more complex shapes into the blade. I find that very interesting since most of my table tops have edges that vary from simple round-overs to complex ogee-ish shapes. (I don't know who would ever want to use champfers.)

[B.A.Bassangler]

A perfect fit for my kind of lazy, when a job is too small to plug in a router, and more comfortable to use than a cordless router. I'll figure it out one of these days...

[mikegray-ehnert]

The final pun warmed the heart of a former Math major! Isn't it a pain when that "better mouse trap" thingy slaps you upside the head? Isn't life grand?

[MrMNRichardWright]

Humility can be a hard pill to swallow. You’re taking it well.

[TimothyRourke]

REED stuff is awesome, totally revived an otherwise cranky old Stanley 4 1/2 into a sleek beast

[jerjavec]

That is great. I have found that the best item in the world won't be used as often if it isn't convenient to use, and this seems to be almost as convenient as just grabbing the plane -- but with the added benefit of repeatability. Very cool!

On my way to Jeff's sight to by a kit!! Thanks for the intro.

[steven_vogt]

If at the end of watching something you say to yourself "Why hasn't someone thought of that before??", you know it's a brilliant idea. Guess what I said to myself after watching this? :)

Kudos to all involved 👏👏👏

[tankizard]

Gotta love it when you almost accidentally your way into a perfect/near perfect design

[kevholmes]

Impressed with the simplicity of the swap over
