Hello,

What plane blade do you want?
Mike.
Hi Mike
It is this one http://www.tilgear.info/lns112t25--lie- ... per-plane-
I have just bought the plane on the forum, and would like to also try the toothed blade for veneer prepping, and possibly awkward grain. That said, if you were to tell me that it is not really the correct plane for those tasks, I would take that advise onboard.

Hello,
For veneer ground prepping, a toothed blade in an ordinary Bailey plane will do. Workshop Heaven stock Kunz ones IIRC. Shouldn't break the bank. This will also be good for cranky grain. A toothed blade in a scraper is not likely to get much use, since a scraper in its standard form is capable of cranky grain planing, it is its primary task as is.

Sorry missed the description on their site
I like a camber on mine. I don't sharpen as per the instruction but sharpen like stanley recommend on theirs. Grind and polish at 45 degrees and turn the burr at 15 degrees. Gives a more aggressive edge capable of taking proper shavings but still leaves a perfect surface when freshly sharpened. This tool has changed the way I work and makes the sander sit idle for much of the time.

Hello,
I have the Veritas scraper plane myself, and the blade can be bowed with a knob, to avoid tramlines. I'm not sure this is the case on the LN is it? If not, as I suspect, I would probably ignore any tramlines as the scraper plane would not be the last tool to touch the work anyway, going over with a card scraper and sandpaper would erase those anyway. If tramlines were a problem I would camber the blade, though it wouldn't take very much since the blade is held almost vertically and more than a hair of camber, the blade will only cut a narrow band at the centre. Check your LN though, the bed might be bowed to intoduce blade bow.
