TOTALLY RESTORED & TUNED STANLEY No.8 TYPE 8 SMOOTHSOLE PLANE 1899 - 1902
B CASTING
23-3/4\" long , 3-1/8 wide , cutter 2-5/8\" wide
work done
The body and frog were stripped then refinished. I use a superb finish which I apply many coats to get a very thick finish which is then baked on. I use a superb finish which is very durable.
All the hardware was cleaned and oiled. All tread holes are cleaned and oiled
The Rosewood Tote & knob are very nice. Both were cleaned then waxed several times to get a very smooth natural finish. I did repair the tote its very solid and looks great. Instead of staining it I left it natural giving it a little different look.
The sole was lapped \"correctly\". All lapping is done by hand on a large granite slab.
Cheeks were lapped and the rail\'s were cleaned and smoothed out.
Frog face & seats lapped. I had to repair the top of the frog it had a hairline crack. I welded both side and its as solid as ever. I stand behind my repair\'s 100 percent if you ever have a issue I will replace or repair it for free. I have repaired many planes without a single issue.
Cap iron was cleaned and lapped.
The Cutter was lapped and sharpened. Its extremely sharp and cuts superb shavings leaving a very smooth finish on the wood surface. The cutter is short but still has plenty of life and I\'m adding a second cutter about the same length. Both are correct to the planes year.
The Lever cap was cleaned then lapped at its contact point.
This is a excellent plane that works superb which will be a asset to any work shop or collection.
I have been selling my planes on for over 20 years and have always strived to put out a excellent plane at a very reasonableprice and back it with a \"\"\"\"100 percent satisfaction guarantee\"\"\"\". I go through each plane completely which most importantly includes lapping them \"correctly\"
