I love all planes. But these are some of my favorite specialty planes. Like you said, set it and forget it. They’re so much easier and more practical than using a 45. Another great video.
Thanks for another video. That 48, a welcomed gift indeed. I’ve often wondered if the thicker portion above the tongue that goes up is offset because it limits splits or because it allows floorboards to be refinished over time? Having the two functions in the one plane goes back before the Stanley 48. I use an old wooden body tongue and groove plane that’s amusingly called a ‘coming and going’ - with the single cutter for groove facing one way and the double cutter for the tongue going the other. Just flip the whole plane around, works great!
I should have mentioned that I had put them in an earlier video. The offset may well be for the purpose of allowing more meat in one side to give extra standings over time.
I have the 49 and have used it on a 2in board. What I did was make tung and grooves on both sides and it worked just fine. Just something to think about.
I'd say they the groves are off center like that so when making tongue and grove flooring, you put the thicker side up, so when you take a floor plane (No 74) you have more wood, before getting to the center tongue. Just my guess.
I have had others say that but I can’t imagine these being used for flooring unless it’s a very small floor. Also the smaller side is to the matched finished side.
Just received my Stanley No. 48. First time hand planing having issues with board putting together there is a slight bowing and groves are not right. My Stanley only came with a 5/8" blade and 5/16" blade. The 5/16" blade when putting it on right side is very hard to slide in and along to cut. When using both blades , since I don't have another 5/16" blade, which one goes on which side? And how do I get the 2 pieces of board to have tight groves and flush with our the slight bow when together. Thank you for your advise. You have a great video!!
Thanks for another excellent video featuring Stanley planes. I like the 48. Would like to see you do a video showcasing the Stanley scraper planes. I think these plane don't get enough attention.
por favor, não suprima a segunda ponta de corte..ela te fará economizar muito tempo...se voce tem medo de machucar-se, faça uma cobertura com plastico...tampa de garrafa de coca-cola serve...use um assoprador de ar quente e sua imaginação....abraços....
Currently, I have the Union No. 41....had it re-Nickle plated....and works great!

Totally agree!

A little research just revealed that Stanley did a 148 reversible combination tongue and groove plane, like my wooden body one.

That’s a great idea as long as all boards have been properly thicknessed to the same size.

I have wooden tongue and groove planes but now I want to get a Stanley 48, enjoyed your video.
Thank you for watching and your comments.

i just acquired one of the #48s, looks very useful instead of setting up a combo plane
Thanks for sharing , I have the 48 and love it 😊.
Thanks for watching. I appreciate it.

I’ll keep that in mind. A good idea. Thanks.
Such a simple but effective design.
