I have the LN 60 1/2 and the 102. Both are great and do exactly what they’re supposed to do. I can’t speak to the need of adjustable mouth since I haven’t had an opportunity to use the 102 on extremely figured wood yet.

If you decide on the 102, they make a less expensive version made out of iron for $95. Either way, you can’t go wrong with a LN or Veritas, both great products.

-- ok, is it cut once measure twice, cut twice measure once???? I know....I'll just keep cutting until it's long enough.
