Sharpening Stanley No 50 blades
Please forgive me if this has been done/addressed before. If it has can someone provide a link to it.
I've just acquired a 50, with the full set of blades.
I need help to understand how to sharpen them and what with.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the replies.
I found this whilst exploring.
Not much info.
But now at least I know I am missing the 5/16 and 5/8 plow(plough) blades.

I basically do what you see in the video but use an oil stone. I have a box set of cutters for mine but find I hardly ever use the molding cutters. I did sharpen one of them with the sandpaper and dowel method. The rest of the molding irons look like the first owner never used them either.
