Veritas-Lee Valley Scraper Plane Insert
Has anyone used the scraper plane insert from Veritas? It’s used in a regular bench plane, turning it into a scraper plane, ala the Stanley 112 (which is pretty pricey). It like to see if it works ok or is just a gimmick.

don't do it. It's not worth the steel that it is stamped out of. Save your pennies and get a Lie-nielsen or a St. James Bay.
Just my two cents worth.
get some sawdust on the floor

Give it a try on their buck and see if you like it...

I bought the insert several years ago and could never make it work. As someone else said, you can give it a try and if you don't like it Lee Valley will refund your purchase price.

Alan,
I have had one for several years. It does work but not very well. As someone else has already suggested get a lie-nelson or even a no. 80 stanley. I seldom use my insert as I have 2 stanleys that work fairly well.
