Stanley 78 Depth stop nut and washer

[hamburglar]

Hello everyone

Have inherited a stanley 78 which I am lovingly preparing for use.

Does anyone know where I could get hold of a replacement knurled nut?

Thanks in advance

Rob

I am pretty sure you can get bits for the 78 direct from Stanley Tools as it is still in production?

It's in the spare parts catalogue here

I've just ordered some bits for a #71, and the postage was agreeably inexpensive.

Of course, they may have changed the thread since grandad's plane was made, but you can always tap it out.
