Would the blades from a quangsheng bevel up plane fit?

Sorry
Didn't I take note of the postage.
Thought it was a good deal, just goes to show how easy it is the get caught out by the postage charges on eBay.

It's 2" wide and has a slot that looks like a standard No. 4 blade.
Would it be possible to cut down a standard blade or are they completely different shapes.

It's a much thicker blade in the 62 I think, and has the Norris style adjuster. Not sure I could be bothered faffing around for the saving.
If I have to pay £30 for a spare blade (although I actually wanted 2), I will. I am just drawing a blank on a UK supplier.

Karl,
Derbyshires seem to deal with Stanley. Why not try them?

I thought I could of helped, have a new sweetheart blade but the code is 0-12-141. It's for a no 4 sweetheart.
Well i've had a response back from the dealer (Toolline), and they can't get them. How bizarre.
Think i'll send an e-mail to Stanley pointing out the error of their ways in not making spare blades available (in the UK at least).

There was a discussion about blades for old 62s recently. I posted measurements of the similar looking blades for the Quangsheng equivalent and there is a chance this will be the same size. It might help others if you can compare your sweetheart blade and confirm if it matches.

Still, I think that Stanley should be supplying someone in the UK with spares for their Planes. After all, how many have stripped the thread on the Aluminium lever caps. I've been extra careful with that one.
Anyway, isn't the blade the only part of the plane that is made in the UK? If so that would be typical, made in the UK but the only place in the world where you can't actually buy it. :roll:

Well I phoned Stanley. They put me onto a supplier who can do the blade mail order. Phoned them. No, we don't sell Stanley spares (they didn't even have the plane listed on their website). Phoned Stanley back. Yes, they can supply. Hold the line a minute and i'll put you back through to them. Back onto the supplier, who took my details. "i'll have to phone Stanley to get a price as I don't have one to hand - i'll phone you back in 10 mins". 45 mins later he rings back "Stanley still can't give me a price on the blade - i'll phone you back as soon as I have it".
******* weird !!!!
I'm waiting for a silly price to come back for the spare blade - the supplier clearly doesn't want to do it, but he is being forced to by Stanley (the supplier mainly deals in DeWalt).
I'll keep you posted.

Stanley - Black & Decker (dewalt) is all the same corporation now so it's not difficult for the dealer surely ?
It's going to put a lot of us off their products - the time you've spent faffing around makes it expensive as well

It does all seem daft. I know that accountants don't like money tied up in spares, but selling a plane without making spare blades available is as silly as selling pens but not ink. Do they expect us to throw the plane away if it needs a new blade?
Thanks for taking the trouble to do the research and tell us about this nonsense.

Whether another make of iron fits or not would seem to be down to the position and width of the slot and the size of the adjuster holes. The holes need to be a good fit - too big and there would be lots of backlash, too small and it would be an awful job to try to open them up .
They all seem to be about the same thickness, 2" wide and the approximate same length all of which I am guessing don't need to be exactly right but is there a standard diameter of adjuster pin/ holes on such planes?
(I have the Veritas version. I could mic up the pin if it would help but even more expensive I fear)

Am I right in thinking someone makes a 2" blade without any holes? Quangsheng maybe? Could one of these not be used and cut/drilled to suit using the OE blade as a template?
