It's all in the Adjustment Apr 14, 2010
If you take the time to adjust this correctly and do not try to remove too much wood at a time, this radius plane works fine. If you buy the chamfer blades (sold separately, of course) plan on taking a few extra minutes with the alignment of the blades. You might consider purchasing a second plane and a set of chamfer blades and have one plane dedicated to radius and one for chamfer of each.
This will not replace your router. It will provide you with a tool to quickly break an edge or again, if you take your time and take little bites, it will give you consistent quality results over a longer length.

good tool Feb 08, 2006
It takes a little fiddling to adjust the double blades so that the follower takes just a tiny bit more wood than the front one does. Once adjusted it works as advertised - it puts a reasonably smooth edge on your wood. Does not work as well on end grain, but that would be expected of any power or hand tool.
I use it to quickly "break the edge" of things like shelves, boxes, etc.
I have used a router with a comparable size rounding bit (1/16 I think) and must say that this plane leaves an edge that is about as good as the router, without the time and hassle of changing bits, adjusting fences, etc.
Whichever method I use, I follow up with a quick, light sanding, but that's mostly because I'm fussy.
Considering the price of this tool is less than a router bit, I think it's well worth the cost.
