Nice plane... Remember that there is such a thing as getting too thin and I would say 1.6 mm is getting pretty darn close to too thin. This is 1/16 of an inch or 0.062 decimal which is what I measure things in since I'm a Yank. Also keep in mind that you will be taking off more wood as you sand out before finishing so that your final sound board thickness can be 0.005 thinner making it 0.057 final thickness. I don't know what this is in metric. Too thin a sound board is just as bad as too thick a soundboard. Too thin soundboards got no balls and no balls is not good when it comes to concert ukuleles which basically got no balls to begin with. (Ha! ducks quickly and runs away) But then again, every piece of wood is a little different. Good luck!
