So excuse my poor English. I use many expensive words to make it sound...

So true.:)

I have been thinking we kinda agree from the start, only use different words for different terms.

Let's rule out the spine thickness. In my first point (that states that bevel planes...

I am starting to be confused. Are you still disputing my simple observation that a wedge is beefier, also at the cutting bevel?...

Let's try a quick drawing.

Two parameters define the width of the bevel.

1. the bevel angle.
If the angle is smaller (due to a reduced spine) the bevel sides will become wider. The smaller the angle, the more flexible the...
