Has a test drive with a 77 yesterday, interesting tool! Great to look at and fun to drive, but looking at prices (4-figure) I'm considering the Veritas like Ryan tests here.
The 77 did nice and accurate on maple, but some of the tropicals I'm playing with came out kinda rough, perhaps the straight blade. They were exceptionally sharp, just not a good shearing angle I suppose.
Ryan, any results from more squirrely stock?
Looks to be better able to do more of a skew cut too.
I'm probably after 1/4" and 3/8". Kinda in the middle of having a set versus a couple of singles expense wise. Don't need a bunch, perhaps cut a few 1000ths over and sand down.
