Anyone see the GROZ bench and block planes for 19.99? Anyone familiar with the quality, seems like a great price?
Back page show the Carvewright CNC. Sure brings up some interesting opportunity to make bridges and other parts--Anyone know if the deal on these as far as capability and quality?

If they're anything like the Anant planes, they can be made to be nicely functional by working them flat and replacing the irons and chipbreakers with Hock components...about $50.

I have 4 such modified Anants and they'll do anything a plane is supposed to do.
