Has any one ever used one of these
I do a lot of radius work and was wondering if these types of planes work well or if they are just a waste of time. The base will curve both ways btwhttps://www.google.com/search?q=compass+plane&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&client=safari#miuv=2

MT, your link didn't work but is this the plane you are talking about? If so I have seen Roy Underhill use it a few times and it does work well, at least for him it did. I would love to find one of those.

Sorry about the link. Yes that's the baby. I see them on eBay and am tempted to by one. I want to make sure they are worth the $200 asking price

The only down side I saw to them is when you are planing the radius and get to the bottom where the grain changes direction, you have to plane from the other side. When finishing out the bottom cut it can get a little tricky.

I do a lot of tangent hand railing and my current method is using a grinder and a spoke shave, but this looks like it would work well. I noticed one online that is electric, set up like a handheld planer but with compass plane parts mixed in.
