Nah, I was just yanking your chain. Those suckers- cutters and
nickers- are sharper than razors. Cross grain white oak? No
problem! :-) The first few dadoes I was taking these nice wispy cuts,
just because I could. The last 10 I set the blade with a little more
depth to hog it out a little faster and the plane didn't balk at all.
Nice.

That's good to hear. I've got a reputation to uphold here on
rec.wood ... er, I mean, I'm glad they were sharp. Those skewed irons
can be a bit tough to sharpen freehand.

Chuck Vance (who can't remember exactly why it is he wanted to
sell those planes in the first place, but is glad they found a good home)
