Trash to Tool: Making an Adjustable Grooving Plane | TTT, E3

Adjustable Grooving Plane. It is made from scrap wood, repurposed steel from an old saw, left over aluminum stock, screws, and a metal pipe.
Observation: If I were to redo it, I would make the aluminum sole a bit thinner and the throat opening a bit larger (in long cuts, it tends to clog up, but for my intended purpose, it works just fine).

Nicely done, wouldn’t mind having that in my own tool collection. Thanks for the video.

I cringed at using a bradpoint drill as a centerpunch on metal. the plane turned out very nice. in other grooving plane videos,i noticed they cut the chip relief hole and put an angle on the tip of the wedge piece near the cutting edge to turn the chips outward. that should be easy to do on your plane wedge.

I was wondering about the counter sunk holes with the round head screws. Reminds me of when I was starting out

This kind of circular saw blade is too soft for making tools.

[@mr.dabbler]

I would agree with you, but I am just a hobbyist. This tool is not going to see a lot of heavy work, and I don't mind sharpening it between uses.

What would the correct metal to use then? I got old blades laying around but I can reuse something that might work better.
