HANDTOOLS: Very nice T9 #8; Stanley 700 Vice - Admiral - 09-30-2018 If you have a itch to pick up a #8, you might want to scratch it. Here's a Type 9 (1902-'07) Stanley #8 jointer. This tool is as found, I've done nothing to it, the guy I bought it from was downsizing and he kept all of his tools very well (including the #700 vice that follows). I've left it alone as it has some nice user patina, 95% +/- original japanning, low knob is nice, and solid, as is the tote, amazing for a 110 year old plane. Plenty of iron, which I imagine was replaced long ago as the logo is from the '30's, so this plane made someone a living. Metal (no cracks, great mouth and sole) and mechanically its 100%, everything works as it should. This is clearly not a rustbucket, no apologies here. Teaser pic: You can view this and the vice to come in the Flickr album here, where you can enlarge the pictures: https://www.flickr.com/photos/9433588@N08/albums/72157698689046142 This is a very nice plane, and for it being over a century old, is downright crispy; nicest one of its type I've found in several years, most are rustbuckets, this one was cared for by all its owners. Yours for $125 plus shipping; 8s in this condition go for more on ebay but I got a fair deal on it so I'm passing it forward to someone who will appreciate this plane. Next up is a Stanley 700 vice, what I call a "corner vice." I got one about 15 years ago and use it a lot more than I thought I would, it can hold vertically and horizontally, good for those odd shaped pieces of smaller work (I use mine a lot for rasp work when I repair totes). Acme thread and control arm, clamps firmly to a bench (I have mine set up on a piece of hardwood that I clamp into my end vice so it sticks out from the bench). This one is in particularly good condition, crispy in fact, all original, 100% mechanically. Teaser pic: I see these from time to time, but many are trashed, this one is not. Yours for $25 plus shipping. As always, first PM with an unequivocal "I'll take it" gets priority, and please include your full shipping address so I can figure postage and print a mailing label. I don't have paypal, so payment by USPS money order please unless I know you from the forum then checks are just fine. As always, user tools that I would own (and do own in this case), priced reasonably for users. Thanks for looking.

Sent you a pm. RE: HANDTOOLS: Very nice T9 #8; Stanley 700 Vice - Admiral - 09-30-2018 I've got multiple outstanding offers on both tools; waiting on confirmation from #1 in line, and if that falls thru, I'll work my way down from there. Thanks to all for looking. Edit: Both tools are confirmed sold. RE: HANDTOOLS: Very nice T9 #8; Stanley 700 Vice - hbmcc - 10-01-2018 Just a FYI. I have a late #8 I picked up through a local list two or three years ago that was a 'bargain' at about 30% more. Admiral is a generous salesman! RE: HANDTOOLS: Very nice T9 #8; Stanley 700 Vice - FrankAtl - 10-01-2018 I highly recommend doing business with Admiral. Top notch tools very attractive pricing! RE: HANDTOOLS: Very nice T9 #8; Stanley 700 Vice - Admiral - 10-01-2018 Awwww, you guys are making me blush..... RE: HANDTOOLS: Very nice T9 #8; Stanley 700 Vice - Kansas City Fireslayer - 10-01-2018 That #8 is a beauty. It’s not easy to find 4’s and 5’s of that era this nice—let alone an 8. Great price for sure. Tempting for even the guy who already has too many planes. |
