Is it normal for there to be obvious width differences in the same model Stanley hand planes, made in the UK and USA?
I was just cleaning my recently acquired USA made Type 13 #5 1/2 when I placed it next to my made in England plane of the same model.
The width difference is 1/4"
Do these width differences occur with other sizes?
I haven't run any comparisons, yet![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
