Woodnet Forums

Quite a few month ago I got this special handeled #12.  



I wanted the real handle. On woodnet a member was kind to send a scan of the handle with numbers.





I don't turn. So I went to Alex, who turns our gents saw handle. Before I derustetd the plane.


Alex did all the turning after I destroyed some yew I've brought. Love padauk, though the camara doesn't fetch all the colours.


Now I'm looking for screws. Diameter 5,6mm about 24 tpi and 32mm long.

Pedder: Nice job, but you have to admit: that original handle had character. Phil

want it? I think I still have it somewhere.

It's going to be hard to find those screws.  Can't you use the ones from the prior handle, they are likely original.  Otherwise, you can re-tap to match what screws you find.

Glad to see the handle come together. I wondered if you ever got to it, but like me and my shop projects things take time.

Nice upgrade.

After reading about this I had to check mine to see what it had for screws as I wouldn't think that they would be metric and what I found is they are not metric but a special size 1/4" plus x18 threads,which I can't figure out why they would that.I would check ebay and get one with the bolts in it as cheap as I could buy or re-drill and tap for 5/16 -18 screw.

Seems to be a 12-24 pan head 1 1/4.

What's that French phrase for "to each his own"?  Now I remember--"what the heck were you thinking, dude"?  Nice rehab, but that color is so "not my cup of tea".  (That's a U.S. expression, translation = "There's no accounting for taste".)
