    Default hand plane brass "screw" needed

    I have a basic stanley plane. It has two small brass "screws" which hold the wood handles on to the plane. I call it a screw becaus it has a screwdriver slot in the top of it but it really is threaded so it fits on the shaft that goes through the wood hand hold to thighten it down on to the plane. I do not know its real name.
    My problem is I am missing one. I looked on my record and this part seems to be the same piece. Does anbody know where I can get a replacement one? Is there some place where old planes go to die and rust away leaving only the brass parts behind?
    Cheers Ron

    Look for an old tool dealer like this one hans brunner tools - you will just need to find a canadian one.

    Also look here for new reproduction ieces from the st james bay tool company

    The handle bolt is a relatively common part, but is slightly different lengths depending on the size of your plane.

    Another place you can try in the US for a replacement is Bob Kaune.

    Good luck

    Stanley make screw replacement sets for their planes ,I just ordered a set from a local tool shop here in Australia ,the set costs 25.00AUD , I just needed one screw for the front of the tote on a Stanley no 5 ll but I'll have a heap of spares .
