I put a new Hock blade in my Stanley 112 this weekend and what a difference it made. The Stanley blade was much thinner and I had a difficult time adjusting the angle of the blade for a good cut. The thicker Hock blade seems very forgiving in this area. I ground and honed it on my Tormek, then removed the burr with 500, 1000 and 1500 grit sandpaper. It was very easy to put a burr on the edge. I tried different angles and and while there was some difference in the thickness of the shavings, it took an almost vertical angle to produce noticable chatter. I wish I'd replaced it sooner.
