Add an extra thick 3.2mm bevel down blade, and you have a chatter free ensemble capable of cutting in all directions.
MTC has chosen M2 High Speed Steel (HSS) for the blades. M2 HSS has high abrasion resistance which means it will hold a sharp edge much longer than many other steels. This also means that it may take a little longer to bring up an edge. Don’t worry, you will be leaving your sharpening gear on the shelf for a lot longer too. MTC plane blades are also thicker than the average plane, this eliminates vibration in the cut, ensuring a smooth uniform finish.
