Admittedly, it's not a very beautiful router plane just yet, but it works as one, which is the important thing. It has some shaping to be done as yet, now that I know it works as expected, and I also want to add a couple of tee-nuts so that I can mount a grooving fence to it.
The cutter is from Veritas, and is the same format as that for the Stanley No.70 or Record No.71 planes. It's held in place by a ¼" threaded eye-bolt which passes through the body of the router to a wing-nut at the back.
The wing-nut is functional, but uncomfortable, and I'd like to replace it with a knurled thumb-nut at some stage.
I've learned a thing or two from this so far, and I may (or may not) make another.
