Plane handle interchangeable?

[donie]

Hi,

Would plane handles be interchangeable with other numbers, eg could I put a no 7 handles on a 4 1/2 or? Has anyone done this?

Are they all the same other than a no4 which has a smaller handle with no small screw at the front of the rear handle?

Thanks!

no not all are interchangeable.. I have had to “make it fit” on handles in the past when I broke one and could not get a replacement and needed the use the tool
