I have read in an article that some people can obtain a "glass-like"
finish using a scraper plane (e.g. Stanley #112). I can use my #112 to
avoid tearout issues, but the results are not as smooth as a regular
plane. Do you find that you can get a better finish with a #5 or a
scraper plane? If you get a better result with the scraper plane, do
you have any tips you can share?

Thanks.


I have the Lie-Nielsen version. It took some work to get it perfect. Do
NOT roll a burr on this blade. Sharpen carefully and adjust the tilt the
blade to scrape perfect fuzzies. I adjust mine on the granite block with a
dollar bill lifting one end and setting the blade to just touch the granite.
