Very interesting. Thank you😊. Presumably the flat parallel sides were designed to work with jigs or guides for batch work. Kinda ironic that Stanley marketted combination planes as an improvement over carrying a whole set of wooden profile planes, when these are essentially just heavier profile planes.
Nice demonstration. I am thinking the cutter is long enough to carefully grind it down so the upper side has enough metal to protrude out the appropriate amount. What kind of lubricant are you using on your stones? Thanks
Really like your you -tube site I have a real interest in antique Stanley wood working tools especially the different hand planes and molding planes
I imagine an improper sharpening made these planes frustrating to use and a lot of woodworkers simply quit using them. Great video.
I imagine you are correct. ThNk you for watching.

Nice planes and information Chester 👍
Thanks 👍

I found one of those at a garage sale years ago and traded it for a shoulder plane kit.
