I just said the last bit of your post to my lady and she showed me the damned rolling pin and explained what she would do with it if I did that and then ended the threat with even though I know you actually do use them and me saying at least they won't go blunt so quickly didn't go down too good she clipped me across the ear hole lol

Well, Skilsaw, you just have to demonstrate what you can do with your new planes to placate SWMBO. At least get a run or two on the board before broaching the subject of another tool purchase!
Not sure if we're the best or worst mob to seek help from - most are either developing hand-tool addiction, totally in its grip, or desperately trying to get clean, here....
Cheers,IW

Here it is I am impressed, can't wait to try it out just need to sharpen it first. Also have a stanley #3 that i won an auction for $24NZ plus shipping which will be a restoration project before I get to use it so that will be 5 planes that I now own.

Here is an article written by Derek Cohern on using rebate planes; https://www.inthewoodshop.com/Furnit...atePlanes.html
Like him I also added a wooden sub fence; in my case I used 3/8" thick hardwood about 40mm deep.
And also like him; I take a nick out of my port index finger every. Single. Time!
Last thing; check that the bottom of the depth stops is actually parallel with the plane base. Often they are a few degrees out; nothing that a few minutes with a file can't cure.Nothing succeeds like a budgie without a beak.

That little article was a great read thanks for sharing it with me I have book marked it for reading again. I will be adding a wooden sub fence to the main fence as per yours and the articles suggestion, the iron has been sharpened and I have had a little play with it on an offcut of 4x2 and I like it to keep my left hand out of the way I hold onto the bull nose with it I wish I could shape up a bit of wood to slot in the bull nose and add a handle to it

WS Tools in the UK used to make their rebate plane with a front handle, see here: Number 78 Plane Type Study - WS Tools Birmingham
IanW also made a handle for his plane, although his is more of a knob that sticks out at a right angle from the bed rather than the upright handle seen on the WS or Woden planes.
Here is another rebate plane user guide too, this one is by Paul Sellers: https://paulsellers.com/2016/05/reba...letster-plane/Nothing succeeds like a budgie without a beak.

I have the WS with the front wood handle and think it is a great addition giving really good control of the plane. Woden kept the handle when they took over from WS. When Record then took over they dropped it perhaps for cost.
That said it would be an easy task for a woodworker to make a handle as the hole for the screw is there. I noticed that Anant (made in India)now put out a version of the 78 with the handle again.

Yep, like this: Knob1.jpg
I was lazy, CT, I could've cut the base of the knob at an angle, but decided it would be simpler to fit it straight to the bed. The good news is that a 1/4" Whitworth bolt fits the screw hole on my Stanley, making the job simple, you don't need a special thread.
It was more of a 'try it & see' operation, my thinking being that if it seemed like a good thing & worth the extra effort, I'd make a new knob along the Woden lines, later. As it turns out, this one works perfectly ok, I use it all the time, but it does look a bit funny, I agree. Some day, maybe, I'll get around to doing it 'properly'. But don't anyone hold their breath.....
Cheers,
Edit: I searched for the post where I showed how I went about it, but the search engine refuses to come up with it, so if anyone can find it, please feel free to post the link....IW

Yes, Skil, but to use the more conventional terminology () it's the screw-hole in the forward blade bed where you place the retaining screw for the lever-cap when you wish to move the blade to the 'bull-nose' position. I have never had occasion to move the blade forward on mine (I have a couple of other bull-nose planes for those rare occasions they are necessary), but if the need ever arises, it would only take a few seconds to remove the handle.
As I said, the lever-cap screw on mine matches a 1/4" Whitworth or NC thread, which made matters easy. Had it been some less-common size like so many threads on Stanley planes, I would've either had to scratch about for a matching bolt, bought the appropriate die (expensive!), or re-tapped the hole to a convenient size.
The handle/knob is handy to me because I use my 78 mostly for cleaning up tenons, a job I find it does very well. If you only use the plane for its intended purpose (making rebates), the knob isn't all that handy, because when planing a rebate, most (right handed) folks use their left hand to hold the fence or fence-rods so they can keep the plane snugged up against the edge of the board being worked on.
Cheers,IW

Hi Skilsaw,
this post is about your 13-052 combination plane. I own one of these and I have difficulty sourcing cutter blades for it but for another reason than length.
Warning - older Stanley 55 and 45 blades are 1/8 inch thick which is too thick to fit into the slot on the plane body for the blades to slide up and down in.
Record 405 plane blades fit just fine as regards length and thickness, as do the genuine Stanley 13-050 and 052 combo plane blades.
The plane also uses metric threads, due to it being made in England in the latter part of the 20th century.
There are some useful threads in this forum, just search on stanley 13-052
