Unfortunately these arent for me but for work - with us shortly moving to a new 'shop i have decided that the time has come to upgrade our crappy chinese planes and as the budget will stand it at the momnt i am looking at buying a quality marque.
the basic purchase will be a no.6 or 7 as we are largely working big things like signs, gates, benches etc plus i might get a 4 for shooting the ends of tenons etc
question is which make ?
I know the reasons for picking these three collectively over stanley/quasheng/axminster etc but how do i choose between them ?
my instinct is to go with clifton on the basis of their being british made but i want to be sure their isnt a good reason i should choose veritas or LN instead
all input welcome
