LN rabbet block plane

Does anyone know what the difference in weight is between the bronze 140 and the iron 140?

thanks!
Dave

Dave,

As I said above, I don't own a Stanley 140, so I can't give you comparative weights between the Stanley and the LN bronze 140. This morning I weighed my LN bronze 140, a LN adjustable mouth block plane (60 1/2) and a Stanley 60 1/2. Here are the weights for each of those:

LN bronze 140: 2 lbs even, without the fence assembly; 2 lbs. 3 1/2 oz. with the fence assembly.

LN adjustable mouth block plane (60 1/2): 1 lb 11 oz.

Stanley 60 1/2: 1 lb 5 oz.

Just for fun, I weighed my LN Bronze 102: 15 7/8 oz.

Hope that gives you something to go on.

Hank

Thanks for the numbers Hank.

I'm wondering if someone has weighed an iron version of the Lie Nielsen 140.




cheers,

Update: ordered the 60 1/2R, I figured $119 & free shipping was too good to pass up, and the LNs seen to hold their value well if I decide to part with it.

I find the 140 fascinating, though, and have my eye out on Ebay for a vintage Stanley or MF 07.
