I bought one of these today -- missing the depth stop, of course--thinking I was getting a plow plane. But it's not; it's a beading plane. Has anyone ever used one of these?
Just change the cutter to make it a plough plane. They used both.

Works well as a plow.
So you are missing the depth shoe for the left side but have the beading fence and blades?
You can make a new depth stop using drill rod and a scrap of steel.

+1 (seen one made using brass scraps -- bling!)
nhplaneparts even sells those stops....and about any cutter you want...
Clearly a defective No. 50.....better send it to me for proper disposal .......
Sadly, it came without a set of cutters, just a single plow-style cutter. That's what confused me. But it does have a fence.

Standard fence (the one that rides the two rods)? Or beading fence? Or both?

Just one fence that rides on two rods. I guess it was missing more than I thought.
