What is the advantage of a HNT Gordon Plane over a common metal plane?
A HNT Gordon Planes are designed with a higher blade angles for use on cranky/interlocking grain timber which would normally tear when a standard metal plane is used. These planes give you the option to plane or scrape the wood as required to give a smooth finish. Also the smoothing and trying planes handle design allows you to push or pull the plane which is very handy when planing large flat surfaces, go to planing a table top.
