    Default Where to buy new Stanley #4 cap iron

    Hello, I have buggered up my old Stanley No 4 cap iron trying to get it dead flat against the cutter blade

    Can anyone please advise where I might be able to get a replacement?

    It is also called a cutter cap, and is the piece that screws to the cutter blade, and is 2" wide
    regards,

    Dengy

    Ross suggested tool exchange (which was my first thought) or go to Stanley Aus.

    You might be able to use a Hock upgrade backing iron. I think they are made specifically for the thicker Hock irons, but it might work with a standard iron as well.

    Thanks for your suggestions everyone. I followed up with Tool Exchange, and got a new cap iron from Stuart, paid by PayPal - nice, smooth, quick transaction !
