Ahhh, yup I have a Power Plane as well, it helped a lot carving the top camber....I'll give it a try! The original coordinates naturally show the T.E. as a knife edge which is impractical in the real world. My blades are only 1 5/8" wide so the 6042 plotted at that chordwidth is only .163" thick! Did you try to shape yours to a sharp trailing edge or did you leave a more practical 1/32" to 1/16"?

By the way, thanks a bunch for your experienced responses.
