I think the Quangsheng Luban bench planes are based on the Stanley Bedrock type check if they will fit the Bailey type.

Thanks

I've just acquired a Stanley No 50 would it be possible to send me your scans if you still have them? Most appreciated Pete [email protected] Cheers

Hi Does anyone have the instructions for a Stanley No.50 plane they can scan and send me. [email protected] Cheers Pete

I bought a Eze-Lap 250/600 and it works perfectly but I needed something coarser to cut some poorly sharpened plane blades so I ordered a 150/400. This worked fine for a while but the 150 side stopped cutting metal it just polished it. I tried clean the stone with hot soapy water, kerosene, and...

Found a similar size but much thicker record blade on eBay for £5. Flattened and edged it and after a bit of tinkering getting the blade in the right place it now takes wafer thin shavings. Surprisingly it's a very nice little plane. I'll revamping it, give it a good clean, a coat of...

if it is shellac you should be able to get most of it off with clean rags soaked in isopropyl alcohol. leave it for a while then wipe.

I have a Woden no6 which is a great plane and some later made in England Stanley and Record planes that are all very good. They are not the very latest as, all have the traditional frog adjuster at the rear of the frog. I do have a Stanley with plastic handles and no adjuster screw which does...

I bought an elcheapo Silverline one and it works perfectly well. Has two scales metric 100ths of mm and imperial 1000ths of an inch. AND if you drop it tread on it or generally abuse it it won't break the bank

Polyurethane glue 5 minute or 30 minute if you need time to adjust Pete

My other pix are all larger than 2mb so can post them can you give me an email address Pete

Can anyone help to identify this small plane I picked up at a brickabrack stall for £12.50 7 1/2" long with a 1 9/16" wide blade, no chip breaker, cap iron has no2 on it and M5 on the back bit like a type 51 spokeshave iron, 45 degree built in frog and the blade was roughly ground to 25...
