Hi Folks,
I wondered if anyone could tell me a little about this plane? Mr. Magoo. Purchased on ebay for $44.00, including shipping from Japan...
Looks to be lightly used. I ground the edge of the blade a little narrower because the body had a small crack on the top side - the blade was supper tight. I sharpened it up, trued the base and planed a few test boards, cedar an doug fir.
Wow! Even with my bungled tune up this plane leaves a smother finish than anything in my tool cabinet. My no. 4 Stanely Smoothing plane got the boot and now is in the ebay box!
