Replacement plane blades in PM-V11 steel now available from Lee Valley

[Mike Henderson]

I got a note from Rob Lee this morning telling me that the replacement plane blades, in PM-V11, for Stanley planes are now available. He thought they would be on the web site this morning but I couldn't find them. I did call and order a blade for a knuckle joint Stanley 65 and the customer service rep took the order so I guess they're available. The plane blade was $35.90. I don't know how much the other blades cost - you'll have to call or find them on the web site.

Here's some info Rob sent me:

Thanks for the heads up! Been waiting as patiently as I could.

[David Weaver]

Awesome...and they're only a dollar and something each! Cheaper than the buck brothers irons!

[David Weaver]

Oh poo...I looked at the list before I read your message, they're not a dollar and something each.

Yeah, I knew better than to believe that you could come even remotely close to getting the bar stock for $1.99. Everyone can dream sometimes, though.

Too bad these didn't come out during free shipping. Then we could've really narrowed your margin.

(that said, they are by no means expensive given that they're in A2 ballpark).

Mrs Lee didn't have any dumb kids.....

So,those blades without cap irons have no slots?

[David Weaver]

That would be great april fools if they didn't. "Here kids, see if you can work your way through this hardened iron...."

Hi George -

No - blades without cap irons are still regular Bailey-style blades(with slot). Some people want improved cap irons, so we give an extra discount on the set...

Cheers -

[george wilson]

I do wish you'd make some without the slot,Rob.

[Rob Lee]

I do wish you'd make some without the slot,Rob.

Hi George -

They're on the list too.

Tapered blades as well.... but still a few months out...!

Cheers -
