I looked at that website and I think if I was a collector it would be great
info. I still didn't really get an explanation of how these plane numbers
(#4, #5, #220.......) come to be. From what I can see if I was a renowned
plane builder I could build a plane and call it a #10000 and that would be
just fine. If it became popular someone else could come along and build
there version of it and also call a #10000. Next thing you know that style
of plane becomes the industry standard as a #10000. Correct? Regards. -Guy

#220...................quite a spread in the numbers and I don't

the relationship. It's easy to figure out 6" or 8" jointer but this is
not
making any sense to me. Regards. -Guy

You need to go to the website www.supertool.com and do some reading. It
will solve most, if not all, your questions. The index to plane numbers
is at: http://www.supertool.com/StanleyBG/stan0.htm

Asking w/o being willing to follow leads won't make you popular.
