Thread: The Second Stanley Plane Blade Order

Helmut

I would support your view, plus it is an aid to remembering which blade is which, a very important aid when one has difficulty in remembering where things have been put away, what day it is etc. etc

At least I can still remember where the workshop is !!

Regards & many thanks for all your efforts.

I succomb-

Put me down for 2 x 1 3/4", 2 x 2", 2 x 2 3/8" and 4 spokeshave blades (all unbevelled but with cap irons and srews as applicable)

I have an old Record spoke shave blade. The basic width and height is taken from the Veritas replacement spokeshave.

If you have a spoke shave blade for a Stanley #51/#52 and Record/Stanley #151 spokeshaves. Can you compare the dimensions with those in the drawing.

Helmut
I have compared your dimensions against both a Record and Academy Saws blade, and show variations in the attached. the overall length I believe should probably be around 49 / 50mm as mine would have some wear on them.

The 'dogbone' shape of the adjusting slots are also important as this permits the blade to be canted, with one side of the blade taking a thicker cut than the other. I would also suggest making the adjuster slots wider to about 12mm as I find those on my Academy blade foul the collars on the adjuster nuts, making adjustment difficult.

Regards

As per the PM, here is some measurements of the spokeshave blade.

It's from a Stanley 151 and it's actual measurements from this particular blade, not sure how much wear it's been subjected to as I've only just gotten hold of it.

Hope this is helpful.

Just quickly rechecked the measurements and the dogbone holes are probably closer to 4mm diameter.

Hi Helmut,

Can you put me down for

1x 2" and 1x 2 3/8" blade only, unbevelled is fine.

Many thanks,

Steve.

stuffy I have added you to the list.

I have updated the spoke shave drawing.

I need to confirm the distance between the two dog bone slots and the distance the dog bone is from the edge of the blade. Marked as Dist. A and Dist. B.

I have added the dog bone, see image for details.

Attachment 145072

I have made the distance from the cutting edge to the bottom of the centre cut out 14 mm, this will allow for 0.2 mm for the laser, plus initial grinding the bevel.

Its all or nothing. These batch orders only ever works because of economics of scale. If the majority of people want a specific shape, then sure. The other reason is that the tombstone shape is unique and in 100 years you people will be able to spot the forum blades.

Fair enough. Can't say I'm surprised either. Count me in if there's ever a batch done though.

I guess the original laminated Stanley blades will have to do *sigh*

Rebate Plane Blade & Cap Iron Drawings

Vann was kind enough to do the CAD work based on a his No. 10 Rebate Plane Blade & Cap Iron.

If you are as part of this order and you are getting a 2 1/8" Blade and Cap Iron for a No. 10 and a No. 10 1/2 rebate plane. Then take the time to compare Vann's drawings with your existing plane blade and cap iron.

Please forward any comments to myself Thumbsucker via PM or this thread.

Vann feels confident that this combination should fit most Stanley or Record No. 10 or No. 10 1/2.

I obtained these measurement from my Record 010 and 010½ rabbet planes, and added 'Tombstone' tops. My rabbet irons are the type with the flat tops (1932 to mid 1950s).

Record copied the Stanley rabbets of the period (1932), so as Helmut says, I feel confident that this combination should fit most Stanley or Record No.10 or No.10½ planes.

Nevertheless I'm only human, so if other owners could check their irons to make sure I haven't made a mistake , or to suggest improvements - that would be appreciated.

Cheers, Vann.

Measurements from left side along dogbones on the 151 blade.

Left edge to dogbone 3mm (distance A)
Dogbone 12mm
Between the dogbones 23.5mm (distance B)
Dogbone 12mm
Dogbone to Right edge 3mm

Dogbones are definitely 12mm long, not 11mm.

If you want more accurate figures I can get the vernier out tomorrow, these ones are measured with my steel ruler to the nearest 0.5mm... or so.

Please put me down for
1 x 2" with cap iron and screw and bevel
1 x 2 3/8" with cap iron, screw and bevel
might add a spokeshave blade but need to check some dimensions first

EDIT NO, don't need a spokeshave blade

Thankyou TS - doing a great job.

Ditto

Hi TS,
Noticed that I'm down for a 2 5/8" cap iron - not sure why that is, but you can remove that from my order.

Cheers

bitslong its done.
