Just thinking about the paring chisels... All the chisels that were meant for such fine work had a more laid over bevel for getting into real tight places where possible - more than the 30 degrees on these chisels. Is there a reason for such a steep angle as 30 degrees.

I have used the same angle that blue spruce uses on their chisels. And their chisels fit into tight corners fine.
If we used a shallower angle less 30º, than any chisel narrower then 12 mm would come to a sharp apex at the top face, and you would cut yourself, on the top edge of the chisel. Also a shallower angle would reduce the thickness of the chisel to an impossible and useless thickness.
For example if we used a 25º acute angle for the 3 mm wide chisel, the chisel would only be 0.7 mm thick at its apex. See drawing. this chisel would snap bend under its own weight.

This is solved by lightly radiusing the top edge
Also a shallower angle would reduce the thickness of the chisel to an impossible and useless thickness. For example if we used a 25º acute angle for the 3 mm wide chisel, the chisel would only be 0.7 mm thick at its apex. See drawing. this chisel would snap bend under its own weight.

In regards Vann's post regarding Stanley Tool Works cap screws. I got a reply back from Stanley this was their response.
Unfortunately, we do not have large quantities of these available. These are offered to support our product (if a part breaks).
In case this email does not fully answer your question, or you would like to contact us for any reason, simply reply to this email.
Thank you,

Probably a blessing in disguise TS.. I don't know how confident I'd be of the quality coming from Stanley works.
That said.. I'm surprised by the reply you got back.. there's a chap in aus re-selling Stanley replacement parts on ebay or oztion.. surely he isn't ordering them in small quantities.
Or perhaps he's been rumbled and they assume you're him trying it on again.
re the 30 degree bevel.. As far as I can see (in my own work) as long as that bevel meets the back of the chisel there's no problem. I can't foresee (again in my own work) where anything more than 30 would be advantageous.
I'm certainly not discounting Bob and toolins worries but I tend to doubt that the general populus will find it a problem.
Also I may be out on this because I'm not up on my steels but I don't think I'd have any qualms about tapping all but the very thinnest of the chisels with a mallet.
The only thing that I think will kill them is using them to pry. (or perhaps flung across the shop)
I know they are a delicate set in comparison to what most of us will be used to but I highly doubt we'll see any come apart on us.Best regards, Luban

I know I'm a bit late to the parade.......but it still possible to order a #8 blade and cap iron?
2 5/8" is not an 'off the shelf' Stanley size anymore.....
If you do a Google search for "replacement blade for number 8 stanley plane" this thread is the first on the list?
Good job.
We don't know how lucky we are......

TS
I would like to add to my earlier order a 5-1/2 cap iron and screw. This is the 2-1/4" model.
