: Is that a Bailey 4 1/2? I like the 4 1/2 better than the 4. I think
: they do a better job of flattening things. If you bring up the
: edges of the blades so you don't get lines there's a LOT more
: blade cutting good and flat, and I like the extra weight. I
: can't plane things finish-ready with a 4. I think I'm just not
: good enough. Get out the Bosch and hook up the Dust Deputy.

If you're gonna do alot of plywood scarfing, West brand epoxy sells a device called a Scarfer (I think) that attaches to a circular saw, used with a carbide blade it'll cut scarfs on plywood very quickly and very accurately. I've been using mine for something like 20 years, works great.
