I think the in-depth background information is valuable - but maybe he should have started with a summary...Dangermouse":z3o626cu said:It always astonishes me that some people need to say in ten pages what others can say in a couple of paragraphs. :-?
I believe current Stanley planes (non-Sweethart) use metric threads*. I don't know when the change happened, but probably about the time production moved from Sheffield to India/China (~2004)Cheshirechappie":z3o626cu said:The survival of the Stanley plane threads for so long is unusual, but serves neatly to illustrate that current screwthread standards have not always held sway.

Just a little too pedantic and so removed from woodworking. One can nick pick so much over such things, that you loose sight of what the main object actually is.

If I needed a screw I'd use a thread gauge.
