    Default Wanted - Stanley 78 Rebate Plane Depth Gauge and Screw

    .
    I am trying to get a Stanley 78 rebate plane operational but it is missing a depth gauge and the screw to secure it.

    The gauge is just under 50mm long - see photo.

    Does anyone have a Stanley 78 depth gauge and screw they would like to sell or know where I might buy either.

    Thanks

    I too wanted some parts for my rebate plane and found
    STANLEY | Products | HAND TOOLS | Planes | Planes | Rebate planes

    All the parts are available, but the cost, for me at least, was not supported by my probable use into the future...

    I think I have a spare depth gauge but I doubt that I have a screw. I will check tomorrow.

    If you get desperate and know a friendly metal worker these are not that hard to make.

    Tom found a fence for the 78. Thanks Tom.

    Now to find a screw. BobL I tried a 3/16" W but it doesn't fit. I liked the photo of your planes.

    The 78 I am trying to get functional again was made in England. I will go through my many boxes of odd screws, bolts etc again to try to find a solution.
