Parts for old plane--update
Thanks to the person who suggested Highland Woodworking. The kit of
screws arrived today; it's Stanley's Bailey screw & nut kit, all for $10 (including the big brass nut which some other places charge $15 for *alone*). Everything fits my Millers Falls plane very nicely, which is obviously a Bailey clone. One question: one thing that bothers me is the fact that the screw that secures the blade and cap iron is loose at the depth it needs to be in order to secure the blade cap. What do people do to keep it in place? I'll admit I don't want to use Loctite or equivalent here; my guide is What Would Grandpa Do? So how about slightly staking the screw into its hole? Or just leave it loose? The other thing is that the new screw has a slightly beveled shoulder underneath the head, where the old screw was just flat. I guess that's OK. -- Save the Planet Kill Yourself - motto of the Church of Euthanasia (http://www.churchofeuthanasia.org/) |
