LN recommends the hair spray fix. Also, as the summer approaches, the humidity will swell the handles. That and the spray and you're good to go. I've had mine forever. When they were new, I had...
I just received my new Starrett 6" double square. Passes the flip test. Moves smoothly. Lovely tool.
I got mine from Iturra 904 642-2802. 80 bucks plus 9 bucks shipping. Pretty good deal. ...
Woodhaven sells a nice straight one. They even measured the flatness for me before shipping.
In my experience, stones from Dan's come flat. They also offer to flatten out of flat stones for a reasonable price.
Well, we're on the same trail, Mike.
Thanks Jim. In my previous life in forensics, the microscope was a good friend. My eyes don't work well with a hand held magnifier.
Thanks Eric. Not over thinking, just trying to have a little fun.
I'd like to examine my blades, for a bit, to see how I'm doing with my sharpening. I'm hoping some others here do this and can recommend an inexpensive USB microscope. There are so many out there I...
A contactor enclosure full of saw dust will do this.
An excellent resource is Iturra Design. Fast, excellent weld, excellent price. You will need to call your order in. Louis is very free with recommendations. His catalog, free on request, is both...

No slot? No problem. This gadget is called a ball transfer. Readily available and cheap.
LeeValley to the rescue! I own this and use it for scrub plane blades and compass plane blades. Works perfectly for this task.

Hello Bernie.
My Rikon is a 10-342. Bearing is marked 6202.
And beware. I too wanted some high-quality ones and bought them from a local bearing distributor. He looked at the originals and...
Drive to TFWW, stop off in Manhattan for lunch, hop over to Grip, on the return trip catch a show on Broadway. Maybe stay over in a hotel that night. A day to remember.
Tools for Working Wood in Brooklyn. Sometimes they have some used.
Get a Grip in Washington NJ. Check hours. Lots of old planes.

11 ½ x 2 ½ x ½ Black, $18.77
11 ½ x 2 ½ x ½ Translucent $24.37
Plus shipping.
Depends how out of flat the stones are and how flat the substrate is. When I had the same issue, the cost of the flattening by Dan's was less than the postage. Nothing wrong with doing it yourself....
Dan's will flatten stones of any manufacturer for a modest price.
Thanks Cameron. Nix for me on the slab flattening rig. The dust even from hand planing is awful. I put on my respirator.
Well I did try to pull it flat with a few 2x4's and clamps. Didn't make much difference.
But I can report back about the planing. You can pull nice 10 thou shavings off easy peasy. Really nice....
Thanks for the responses. Jim, the other side is the opposite, with a hump in the middle. I think I'll try a few strokes with my jointer plane and see what happens. Wish me luck.
I have a solid core door with Masonite facing to be used as an assembly table. It sits on a flat well supported melamine surface.
Problem with it is there is a 1/16" hollow across the width and a...
So I filed the crosscut saw rip. It took 3 strokes on each tooth to get the job done. The extra weight and length is just what I wanted. Cuts very smooth. FYI: LN responded that they would do the...
Well, thank you all for the input. I've decided to file my LN carcass saw rip and try it out. If I don't like it, it gets filed back to cross cut. I'll report back what I find.
thanks once more....
