New Rasp and reworked mill tooth plane

$52 a box, that is good value Ray, I hope there is 6 in a box

David,

any # you want in the box at $21.00 ea. for the Silver Bullets, but I'll give you a deal and throw in a second cardboard box for only half of the 1st $52.00, so let s say 6 Silver Bullets @ $20.00 ea. = $120.00 plus the empty box @$52.00 and another empty for only $26.00 more............ David, if you work this right you could go into the box business, probably corner the market,but don t tell anyone I m giving you this special deal!

Chris,

by honing I referring to the liquid honing process that we are using, this is an industrial high pressure steam sharpening system, if it helps, the abrasive is tan in color.

Ray

Brian,

since you brought him/her up and quoted ,could you provide the the name of the shoer who won the lottery and made the statement that you quoted, I d like to talk to him or her, maybe to sell some rasps to! But I ve not ever heard if their good fortune and at the least would like to congratulate them. Looking forward to the confirming info...............

I considered 10 horses to a rasp ,pretty good, thought it saved wear and tear on me. Sometimes I might get 15 ,sometimes 7 or 8, when dull i tossed it,never thought of resharpening. Others thought as you did and that s fine with me.
My point in attempting to refer to how I found a tool to work is to to only give an apples to apples comparison, if you get 50 plus or a 100 plus, good on ya, I never have... but by saying what Ray Steele does with a product and what Ray Steele does with a comparing product ,to me keeps it within the same apple basket.

John,

if folks could get by the #, 10 per day, 50 per rasp etc and use the correlation,

as stated, when I was an exclusive Save Edge user I was satisfied to get 10 horses out of a rasp,out of the box, never touched up,never cleaned out, as stated others have gotten 50 etc. out of the same brand.......that was them,presuming that they were using the same brand as i, then i believe they should expect to get the same # of horses out of the same brand of rasp as they did, whatever brand, as I got 10 horses. So if Brian for example got 50 out of this Silver Bullet, and I got 10, and Brian got 50 out of a Save Edge and I got 10 ,then I would say that the Silver Bullet is comparable to the Save Edge.

The conversation is to tell about the tool........ not to be comparing about how Brian or you are so much better in handling your ...........tools .

another way to look at it is, as you inferred, 10 horses to a rasp so a rasp should last a day...........if a man or woman did 10 horses a week then he or she would clearly say , i get about a week out of a rasp.plugging in your # of 10 per day would mean 50 horses per week,but we clarified it at the beginning to state that that individual did 10/week.

Individuals often times do things differently from one another, my stating a # was only to give a value and a common individual,me, to compare to, the rest, the value of any tool will in my opinion be up to the individual.as is a lot of things.

Thank you for the correct statistical analysis Ray. I am however a little worried that There is only six in a box, I cant drop them and they are more than 52 bucks. for the 6!! and another 20 bucks to have them wrapped in cardboard.

ok David,

enough small chat, when you are ready to order, please specify which end you want the tang on and your preference for inside or outside corners on the box........... it won t matter, ill ship whatever i have..further please make sure that your check of payment is non re fun able

The P Plane worked very good, aside from the weight and the end I think it will compete very well against the Hoof Plane by Pferd. course the $52.00 ea. price tag vs the $60. to $78.00 ea. will help!

Ray

Don t think I took you wrong,just needed a reminder and to have Mrs. Steele available with her I pad!

Photo below is if the P Plane and the 6/6

Left to right, P plane course side, P Plane finer side, Furthest to the right ,one side of the 6/6 mill tooth.

The P Plane is 6 teeth per inch milled into the blank of steel with chip breakers and a file side on the opposing side.

The 6/6 is 6 teeth per inch milled into a blank,without chip breakers.

The 6/6 is cut into a heavier piece of stock because to get the cuts on both sides thins the middle quite a bit and makes it quite fragile, the reason for the deletion of chip breakers is because, in essence there are no chips,more curls of hoof,for me the lack of chip breaker makes the tooth act like a piece of glass or a finishing blade as used in cabinet finishing and provides more cutting edge.

The 6/6 weight 1.86 lbs and the P Plane weighs 1.70 lbs by my scale

Picture was taken with an I pad, not sure if it shows as well as may be possible or well enough to answer questions.
