  That's the one Steelo.
  

  Any machine that has magnetism used anywhere near a work surface needs to be demagnetized as soon as residual is detected  [long thin feeler strips are good], or it will induct the parts machined on it.
  

  Vertical hones that use magnetic separators are notorious for it.

  
  

  For this very reason i hate magnetic parts trays with a passion.

  Please contact Hoodeng to get it demagnetised? Don't want any stray sparks near the fuel tank during removal.

  It’s an early model of a razor scooter. For some reason it wasn’t popular with the kids.

  Here is one.

  Not a, "what is it?".

  Just a, this is what it is.

  You don't see them everyday.

  Most blokes have seen hand woodwork planes that are used to TRY and make bits of wood flat and square, like the ones in first pic.

  But what if you want to plane curves?

  Well this fucker is just what you need.

  It is called a compass plane and was included in a second hand Patternmaking tool kit I bought doing my apprenticeship (1980), from a just retired guy who worked for the N.S.W Railways Foundry in Sydney.

  By turning the dial the arrow points to in the next picture you can change the base of the plane to any diameter curve, convex or concave you want.

  Just posting for general interest and perusal.

  So it planes both inside and outside curves FC ? 

  How are you supposed to hang onto it without getting blisters on both hands?

  When you screw the adjuster from outside to inside does it go with a jump?

  Yes it does.

  Pretty much like a regular plane. Blisters do not usually happen.

  No. No jumping. (No Jumpers, Jacks, Sweet Mary Jane)

  Probably wrong,, but i though planes that cut radii were called spokeshaves??

  
  

  Cheers.
