Wow. I wish I was in SA.

I'll take the No. 27 for $65 plus postage, thanks.

Nova Comet II DR would be a very good alternative and much better quality than anything from H&F (imho):

On any plane an adjustable mouth allows for taking thinner or thicker shavings. Wider the mouth, thicker the shaving.

Wider = coarser; narrower = finer. By just a fraction, of course.

Quite bizarre isn't it!

Wowsers! The same seller has 2000 model rip fences and cross-cut fences too!

Hi, is the iron width 2 3/8" or 2 1/4"?
Thanks

Great looking bandsaw!

NLA Trove has lots of hits for Nile 18" bandsaws in Qld. Mostly 1930s-60s. By the '50s all advertising seems to be secondhand classifieds. However, here is a retail ad from...

No, so pick any timber you like and technically you are correct :D

Bill, the mouth on a No. 75 is adjustable just as on a Stanley No. 90 or 92, 93, etc. Just release the top screw and slide the top section along the body until the mouth is as desired and tighten it...

If there was any doubt the froe Paul is selling is an excellent quality tool. Very thick blade and well finished.

Hi, welcome to the forum.

I assume you tried to post an attachment photo of your bandsaw in question?

Arrived today safe and sound - thanks very much Mike :)

No more metal shaves lurking:
8 x Stanleys (63, 64, 55, 65, 51, 53, 62, 60) a Preston and a Falcon F151.

I do have some woodies lurking but they'll get their own rack someday! :D

The other day I picked up a Stanley No. 62 reversible spokeshave (dual irons facing opposite sides) and being a type 1 it doesn't have hang holes like the rest in my collection.

So, recalling this...

Found one for sale on eFlay so the hunt is over, thanks

I'd love one of these Paul.

Thanks Chris, that's a good idea.

Poorer quality more like.
The 19th & early 20th century Stanleys are leaner and better overall.

Well said Ian, the Stanley No. 40 is so light and deftly applied it's a marvel how much material it can hog out very quickly.

The Carter C10 is overkill for sure.

Personally I find all Carter...

I thought I'd gone mad when I saw your pics of your Carter Scrub Plane. I thought, that's no Carter Scrub!
But of course you've modded the already heavy duty Carter Smoother.

Carter did make a...

Type 9 or 10 according to the well-thumbed No.4 type study at Hyperkitten. Which makes it from between 1902-09. Of course the dating could be a bit off for a No. 8.

Nice buy!

Arrived safe and sound - many thanks

Beautiful tool box!

I'd hate to see it sold and parted out into individual sale lots which could likely occur. It's a piece of history.

I'll take it, with postage thanks

How much for the No. 12 1/2?

These Paulcall/Paulco bandsaws date from the late '40s to 60s. I seriously doubt there was ever a manual.

But if there is one I'd like to see it too.

I recently picked up one the same vintage. Not the type 10 or 11 currently 'supported' on the B&D website but slightly earlier. My guess is mid-90s/early-00s

Still a good portable bench :2tsup:
