The Second Stanley Plane Blade Order

**thumbsucker** · 15th September 2009, 09:16 PM

Before we had even finished the first Stanley Plane Blade Order, I had people asking me to do a second batch. Now that everyone has gotten their Stanley Plane Blades from the first order, and it was by all accounts a resounding success. I will start the ball rolling on the second Stanley batch order.

The order will have options for the following blades:

1 3/4" Blade For Stanley/Record Bench Plane
2"" Blade For Stanley/Record Bench Plane
2 1/4" Blade For Stanley/Record Bench Plane
2 3/8" Blade For Stanley/Record Bench Plane
2 5/8" Blade For Stanley/Record Bench Plane
2 1/8" Rebate Blade For Stanley/Record Bench Plane
Block Plane Blade for a #102 Block Plane
Block Plane Blade for a #103 Block Plane
2-1/8" Spokeshave Blade

Cap Irons

Cap Irons are optional for all the Stanley/Record Bench Plane Blades. The problem with the short Cap irons has been resolved. The cap irons will come in longer lengths relative to there widths.

The critical dimension moves from 92 mm @ 1 3/4", then 95 mm @ 2", then 98 mm for a 2 3/8", then 104 mm for a 2 5/8" blade. The cap irons increases by about 3 mm every time the blade jumps up one size.

Steel

The Steel will be 3 mm thick M2 steel, and the blades should have a nominal thickness after grinding of about 2.8 mm.

Cost

The price for any of the blades minus a bevel is $40, and the price for a blade with a bevel is $45. As a few people have discovered grinding bevels on M2 is not an easy task, and for the $5 it cost's to get t done for you, is well worth it.

The cost of the Cap iron is $15 per cap iron, and this will come beveled and tapped for a 1/4" 28 TPI UNF thread and a matching cap screw.

3rd Party Manufactures

The 3rd party manufactures will be the same as we used for the first Stanley Bench Plane Order. Dj is happy to do the running around for us. He has however declined to grind the bevels again. Which is completely understandable.

ETA

Having worked out all the bugs in the process, and the technical challenges faced in the first batch order, this should be a much smoother and shorter thread.

Nice! (Hock irons are included yes?)
Put me down for:
1 x 2"
1 x 2 3/8"

(both bevelled)

Oops sorry, I wasn't in on the earlier buys and my lingo is not much chop.
Yes for the cap irons and I see that they were ~$14 before? (reading old thread, whole 90+ pages of it!)

YAY!!

Same again please Helmut:

2 x 2" with chip breaker and screw, no bevel
2 x 2 3/8" with chip breaker and screw, no bevel

Many thanks fella!

Also, would you mind posting your diagrams? I'd like to compare them to my other planes and see if I might also go for a block plane iron.

Helmut

Can you put me down for;

1 - 1 3/4"
1 - 2"
2 - 2 3/8"

All with bevels & Cap iron

Thanks & Regards

Please put me down for:

2 x 2-3/8" cap irons
3 x 2" cap irons

Is there any demand for 1-3/4" spokeshave blades (Stanley 63 and 64 type)? I'd be interested in a couple if they become available.

**Ian Wells** · 16th September 2009, 12:57 PM

2X 2 3/8,no cap irons, thanks Stu,
and I've still got 2 X 2 5/8" blades with cap irons for anyone that wants them.

Hey TS

If you want to, could you make some 2" blades for the new Stanley SW #62 LAJ?

I have a diagram of the layout with dimensions and Vann has offered to digitise it.

The I will be able to follow up Derek Cohen's suggestion and make a steeper bevel for dealing with gnarly grained wood.

[QUOTE=thumbsucker;1033611][*]2-1/8" Spokeshave Blade

Helmut are those the blades for the Stanley / Record 151 with the slots cut in the blade ?
