There was a recent thread about the Stanley 271, and the LN
appears somewhat smaller to my eye. The Stanley will accomadate a 1/2" cutter blade. Someone mentioned that they use a 271 for hand routing binding/purfling channels, and the LN looks like just the ticket for that job. I'm putting this on my list for new tools.
Thanks Todd!

There's a pretty complete review of this over on the Woodnet forums.

Todd...interesting little plane. I'm not so sure I really have a need for it but it's nice to know it's there if I need to buy it.

Jon...Thanks for the link...now that was a comprehensive review!

BTW Todd...If you could have some luthier-specific planes designed, what would they be? My immediate thought would be in the area of binding channels.

As always, thanks for the Plane Post...I love these tools.

Looks nice.

I use the Stanley for cleaning up the bottoms of rosette troughs (I build classical) when I am doing the rosette trough by hand. Last year when I attended the Romanillos class I did not have the option of using a PC310 w. a microjig fence but the Stanley came in handy and accomplished the same end state.

I have the Stanley version and it is handy for some tasks, but for me they are mostly non luthiery related ones. Same with the #71 and the scraper planes, but I do use card scrapers a lot.
