Howdy, anyone have a source for 3" or wider plane blades? I have a coopers plane that needs a new blade. I thought Hock made them that wide but checking their site it looks like 2-5/8" is as wide as they go. Thanks.

Call or email Ron Hock, he does do special orders and can likely fix you up.

That's a jumbo blade. When you find the blade I hope you also find an apprentice who can wrap a rope around the plane and tug.

Ah, good call. I didn't know he did custom sizes. Of course, it might be hard to use the plane after giving Ron an arm and a leg.
 Cooper's planes are usually 4-6' long and freestanding. Think of a really long jointer plane on a stand and the butt resting on the ground, sole up. The wood is run across the blade as opposed to the blade running across the wood, as in a hand help plane. Thanks. I send an email. Ken

And what, pray tell, are you going to use a cooper's plane for? Are you making barrels or something?
