OK, gotta ask...been doing a little bit of research on the history of the Stanely planes - what's changed, etc. over the years. I can find a nice time-line for the Stanely Bailey planes, type 1 through type 20, which stopped in 1967.
What happened after that?? I know they still make them. They're now called 'contractor planes' and are numbered 90x (e.g. 904 for the smoother...) Granted I think they only make the #4 and #5...maybe the #6. But not sure.
What's changed form the 1967 planes produced?? What are the big differences??
Thanks,
Perry
