    Stanley No.5 plane spare parts

    Yes. And a Record No.04 or 05 cap-iron is also the same. Cheers, Vann.

    Stanley No.5 plane spare parts

    Look for a cap-iron then. But seriously, probably your best bet is to pick up a 'spare parts' plane. Cheers, Vann.

    Advice regarding an eBay purchase (this is a current problem, so advice today is required- if possible)

    Here in New Zealand it's illegal to send cash in the post. I'd guess that applies to parcels too. Cheers, Vann.

    Joke Thread II

    And you try an' tell that to the young people of today - and they won't believe you (with thanks to MP). Cheers, Vann.

    Importance of crown guard?

    Not a very helpful post, oh horney one. "You're doing it wrong but I'm not going to help, just sit back a wait for the blood to splatter " is how I interpret your post. Would you like to be a bit more helpful? Cheers, Vann.

    Importance of crown guard?

    I wonder if a small modification to move your crown guard back a tad, might be possible. Just enough to enable you to see the start of the cut - while hopefully not enough to allow you to cut off too many fingers. I'm not an experienced operator, I maneuver myself so that I can see the start of...

    Coach Screw v Coach Bolt

    I don't see much difference in finish. A coach screw has an ugly hex head (which you can recess) - the other end is completely hidden. A coach bolt has an ugly hex nut (which you can recess) - the other end is slightly rounded. The coach bolt has more clamping force. When using coach (or...

    No point in getting offended over an unintentional slight - if you then turn around and purposely insult two surgeons. Cheers, vann.

    Brazing cast iron

    You just need a fine flame so that only the very ends melt. Cheers, Vann.

    Buying a machine on eBay sight unseen with pallet delivery

    Yeah right. So what other online auction site do you suggest he use instead? Agreeing to those rules is what you do to get on the site - just like when you tick the box to say you've read the terms and conditions on any of 100 sites. You just tick the box... Cheers, Vann.

    Buying a machine on eBay sight unseen with pallet delivery

    My knowledge of Wadkins gets shaky when it comes to Wadkin-Bursgreen models, but a friend has a late 1950s Wadkin RZ with an optional 4-knife cutterblock (most RZs came with the standard 2-knife head). The 4-knife head uses the safer wedge method for holding the knives. Good luck with this...

    Buying a machine on eBay sight unseen with pallet delivery

    At a live auction things are different. You get time to check the item before you bid. And you know you're buying from a reputable seller (i.e. you know the item exists). I think it's fine to ask for reassurance even after the ebay bidding is over. I've seen handplanes with the cutting iron in...

    8mm collet for Makita 3612 Router

    Which is of course, why I said "...but the 3620 is 3/8" max. not 1/2". I figure if they make an 8mm collet for the 3620, then it's likely they make one for the 3612. Cheers, Vann.

    8mm collet for Makita 3612 Router

    I have a Makita OEM 8mm collet for my Makita 3620 (and use it often), but the 3620 is 3/8" max, not 1/2". Cheers, Vann.

    Courier collection Service for Band Saw

    I don't know what size of bandsaw you're looking for, and I don't know if this applies to smaller bandsaws - but for bigger saws, have the seller remove the table. The trunnions under the table are a weak point and often get damaged in transit. And it lowers the centre of gravity - which helps...
