Hi all,
I just bought a near complete Stanley 55 for US$250 and have cleaned, waxed and oiled it up. And of course now the really unpleasant part of sharpening all the blades!
I have just noticed that i am missing the 2 approx 1/4" diameter rod pins in the left fence tilting iron (part #53 for those looking at the manual).
Can I just cut off 2 pieces of 1/4" rod or are these pins some odd stanley size? Does anyone sell them like the St James Bay Tool Company?
How long are these pins?
Once I get them, should i glue them into the iron w/swivel? There doesn't appear to be threads or anything to hold them in.
regards
Phil
