    Default Stanley number 1

    I recently brought a turn of the century Stanley number 1 bench plane.
    The plane is missing its tote, plus it's mounting stud and nut.

    I plan to make a new tote and stud, I was able to find the external dimensions of the two things from the following site however there is no mention of the stud thread and without the stud I don't have a tote hole angle.

    Stanley Number 1 Hand Plane Dimensions

    I'm hoping someone can tell me what thread pitch was used and the stud mounting angle.

    Thank you Mark

    Hi there. I have used 6" bullet head nails (they are the right diameter) and 12/20 die to make replacement studs for my Stanley hand planes. Once you make the stud you can measure the angle.

    Just a thought.
    Have you tried a stud from a #3 or #4 to see if they are the same thread?
    If they are that would give you the angle and the need to thread only one end after shortening.

    Nice way to get a No1 . It should have been a decent amount cheaper than a complete one.


    Will you be using BRW or a substitute timber for the tote?
    Proper BRW is a bit hard to get hold of.

    Thank you for your replies.
    The studs on the larger planes are not a match, they are much larger 12-20.
    The No 1's stud is 7/64" so far I have not been able to cut a thread to test on the plane.

    Thanks Mark. I only have experience with #3 - #7. Knowing what I do about the #1 (which is very little), I am not surprised that things are scaled down.

    Default No 1 tote thread.

    I tried a number of threads until I found the one that worked.
    8-32 and it is angled at 22 degrees.
    Thanks again Mark
