It followed me home.. - bandit571 - 01-13-2020 Can I keep it? [attachment=22895] Was hanging up in an Antique Mall....screwed to an Oak plank, and labeled "Dowel Cutter". A little rough.. [attachment=22896] Had some strange and some missing parts... [attachment=22897] Price, including the Oak plank...$32.50 plus a 3 block walk, both ways. Plus sales Tax... Might be worth the trip?

With your turning skills, I see 2 knobs.. a little rehab and you'd have that pulling shavings! RE: It followed me home.. - Bill_Houghton - 01-13-2020 too bad about that broken stub of clamping bolt on the blade clamp. By the time you finish removing the stub, the hole may be ready for retapping - and then you can retap to a standard thread and buy a thumbscrew at the hardware store. RE: It followed me home.. - stav - 01-13-2020 Nice find. I’ve been looking for one of those for a bit. Old tool hunting is pretty limited here. RE: It followed me home.. - bandit571 - 01-13-2020 Lets see...soaked the clamp in PBBlaster for a while. Then easy-out to remove most of the broken bolt.. [attachment=22921] And then cleaned the sole a bit....had to dig through the tap & die box... [attachment=22922] And dig out a 1/4" x 20 tap, and a wrench...and a drill bit...drilled a bit..and then the tap.. [attachment=22923] Find 2 knobs that seemed to match each other... [attachment=22924] Then went to work and the cutter...trying to get past the pits, straighten the edge, and get it sharp... [attachment=22925] Bought the adjuster disc on ebay....and a pair of thumbscrews....which ran the cost of the plane up by $20 or so...regrind the tip of the bolt.. [attachment=22926] To the required point. assembled the plane, as best as I could.. [attachment=22927] Set up a test track... [attachment=22928] Knifed 2 lines, marked with a pencil, deepened with a backsaw...and set the cutter... [attachment=22929] And gave it a test drive.. [attachment=22930] Wheel gets here thursday mailbox....will see how it looks like, then, Just under $55-$60 for this plane...so far... Stay tuned... RE: It followed me home.. - hbmcc - 01-14-2020 From tool to coat hanger to tool again. That's a good recovery! RE: It followed me home.. - bandit571 - 01-15-2020 Adjuster wheel arrived today's mail.... Threaded rod needed it's threads "chased"....used the wheel... [attachment=22961] Cranked it a few times, oiled the threads... [attachment=22962] Should be all set to got to work.... Thanks for looking in.. RE: It followed me home.. - MarkSingleton - 01-15-2020 Well done man! Good save. RE: It followed me home.. - Bill_Houghton - 01-16-2020 The cutters for Lee Valley's router plane were designed to fit the Stanley, too, although you have to flip the adjuster wheel over, I think because they're longer. Nice save. RE: It followed me home.. - ChuckH - 01-18-2020 Cost of old Stanley router plane: $32.50 plus tax Replacement knobs found in spare parts box: $0.00 Replacement adjuster disc and thumb screws: $20.00 Fun and satisfaction of bringing and old tool back to life: $ Priceless Well done. |
