Cosman walks you through reworking every part of the plane, explains their functions, potential weaknesses and recommends modern day solutions. You’ll see him use the Pinnacle IBC Matched Blade and Chipbreaker set with the unique Blade Adjustment Tabs which allow the use of thicker premium blades in these old gems.
