Record Carriage Makers Plane 010 1/2
Hi,
I am currently restoring the above plane as shown in the link below:
http://www.oldtools.co.uk/tools/plan...nes.pl155.php#
Note the price they want for it approx A$250.00. I picked this one up at a local garage sale for $10.
Apricotripper has been able to assist with some small parts but I need to source a new plane blade for it. Any suggestions where I might get a new one or even have one made.
Also any suuestions of where you can get small parts chromed in Sydney. The lever cap needs to be redone.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Regards

A stanley 10 1/2 blade should fit no problem. try wood works book & tool. this is still a curent stanley model. the lever cap should be a standard #4 lever cap i think. you would be better off finding a nice clean #4 record of the correct vintage & swaping the lever caps.

Most powertools have sharp teeth.
People are made of meat.
Abrasives can be just as dangerous as a blade.....and 10 times more painfull.

I hope yours turns out well, Pen. I spent a deal of time on a Stanley 10 1/2, including fitting a new blade, only to find I had a lemon that I hardly ever use. The handle is too close to the adjuster screw, making it uncomfortable to use, even with the standard 'three-finger' grip. The frog assembly just isn't right, on mine, no matter how I adjust and fit everything, so that it chatters like fury if you dare to run it over a knot. Fortunately, I have better alternatives - even the old 78 is a solider bit of equipment when rough rebating is called for, so my 10 1/2 hardly ever sees the light of day....

Well there you have it. A #3 record is a bit of an obscurity though. A #3 stanley lever cap should be obtainable new, wont be real cheap though.
Lots of people would like a nice clean straight 10 1/2. Well spotted.

Thanks everyone for the replies to date.
Some relevant facts that may assist are that the blade width is 2 5/32" and the Lever cap is 1 3/4'' wide.
Ian W - I found a post on a similar subject some months ago thanks to Apricotripper, where MajorPanic suggested a source of parts in Sydney was at:
http://www.thewoodworks.com.au/list....08431212059952
I checked it out and they have a Stanley #3 Lever cap for A$67.85. I will see if I can find a blade in there also.
My Lever Cap is OK so I will also see if I can just get it re-chromed. Still looking for suggestions as to where.
Derek - I checked the St James Bay Tool site and I may just have to go the there. See they have a Stanley 010 1/2 for US $275, Similar price to the Lie Nielsen. I will contact them to see if the Stanley and Record are the same sizes.
Any further suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
