    Also check the country of manufacture. My #49 and #50 are "Made in USA." Some of the ones made elsewhere are miserable. That said, I do like my two Aurious!

    Condition, condition, condition. The 5 1/4C is fairly rare and would appeal to the collector market--as long as the cheeks are not cracked as Jim pointed out. The 603 could be a nice user and yes,...

    Pete Taran has given you some good information. The type study in Walter's book is for the 9 1/2 "family," which includes the 9 1/2 plus your #15, the 16, 17, 18, 19 and others. It is long and...

    Nice acquisition. I agree that it is a #15 and looks like a Type 10, 1894-1897. The blade has the correct logo for that time frame. But it is a standard angle block plane, not low angle. It is bedded...

    Your #5 looks like a Type 19, 1948-1961. The rounded top of the iron indicates perhaps the second half of that period. Should be a good user for you. The other one--you won't be nearly as happy with...

    I'm curious how you would use a cap iron with a bevel up cutting iron. May be a translation issue?

    The Narex rep at AWFS last summer told me their manufacturing equipment leaves a minimum 1 mm flat on the side bevels, the same for both their dovetail and "classic" Narex bench chisels sold by Lee...

    Dovetail chisels should have a very narrow side bevel to avoid dinging dovetail corners. The Narex dovetail chisel has a one millimeter flat on the sides. This is the same as their bench chisels so...

    It is 9/32, not 5/16. Why not just get a replacement knob? Try Eric at NHplaneparts.

    One caution: make sure the adjustable plate runs parallel to the sole. I saw one example of a Bench Dog block plane where the plate dropped down when the mouth was opened making it impossible to...

    As far as I know, type studies are published for the #4 only. There are some variations on the #5 and other sizes such as those you point out.

    Joe, I don't have a 3415 but do have a slightly wider 3416. I dropped in a blade/chip breaker from a same-width Stanley transitional # 27 and it fits and adjusts properly. There shouldn't be a...

    It's unlikely that Ohio Tool used two different screw threads for the tote and knob. If the 12-20 is correct for the knob perhaps your tote boss is just excessively worn. I have heard of people using...

    Quoted lengths generally don't include the tab under the back of the tote. Even so, the 407 is a bit longer than 7".

    I agree, Bluegrass hammers are excellent.

    The Bluegrass planes I have seen were made by Sargent.

    I have and use a 71 1/2, which I prefer to the 71.

    Made for Sears by Sargent. Their model # is 1080, I believe. The cutters have an extra notch relative to those for the Stanley 45 but they are available.
