I don't often do this on old planes, but I figured this plane didn't look particularly old so it might be fun to make it look new again. So many of the blades I sharpen have obviously been done (badly) by hand so for an inexperienced woodworker I would highly recommend a honing guide. The chances of splitting are high due to the raised ring and greater leverage capable of being placed on them than on the low knobs.

Make sure everything seats – mainly make sure that the slot in the blade/chip breaker is siting down over the tab and the lateral adjuster pin. The new one is crude by comparison, as though the designer couldn't figure out how to get the shape into his CAD system. I like a microbevel on mine so I hone the primary bevel at 25 degrees and put a 3 degree microbevel at the tip. The Whittling Guide, originally founded as a comprehensive resource for whittling enthusiasts, has evolved into a versatile platform covering a wide range of woodworking topics. I try for 25 degrees only because that’s what Stanley has been recommending for a couple of hundred years now.

I'm finding that I used to have a lot of unfair bad opinions about plane manufacturers that I've had no actual experience with. All surfaces on the old one are smooth and crisp, where there are spots on the new one that look like they finish sanded it with asphalt in the parking lot during a cricket match. A raised ring is cast into the bed to act as a receiver for the knob, and it prevents the splitting of the knob.CLASSIC CHERRY WOOD HANDLES: Made from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified cherry wood, the handle and knob are shaped to fit the hand naturally and comfortably, providing comfort in extended or repetitive use. I wondered if the angle was too steep so tried to sharpen again really trying for 25 – 30 degrees but it hasn’t made any difference. It has the same trademark stamped into the iron, except that “STANLEY” is in a straight line, in large letters. Howard, I’m using 240, 600 and 1200 grit sandpaper taped to a flat tile and trying to follow the technique on Paul’s sharpening video. If they offer plane blade sharpening they will be able to quickly regrind the correct bevel angle using a Sorby ProEdge (or equivalent) with a ceramic belt.

Turn the screw to move the frog forward or backward, depending on the direction in which it is turned. You need to press down on the front of the plane when starting the stoke, balance the pressure through the stroke and put pressure on the rear of the plane at the end. I only started using the plane a couple of weeks ago, and I used for a good few hours before I sharpened at all.

I’m fairly sure the lever cap and screw is set correctly – it’s definitely not too loose, if anything I set it too tight and had to loosen it to allow me to adjust the depth. If what you are experiencing looks like a washboard, then there are not that few explanations and suggested remedies. You can make a big change in the bevel with 120 grit sandpaper and the guide if you like, but I wouldn’t use paper on the back unless you have a flat surface and **glue** the paper down. Made from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified cherry wood, the handle and knob are shaped to fit the hand naturally and comfortably, providing comfort in extended or repetitive use. When the Stanley plane is painted blue, it is Type 15 to 20, and the plane is Type 20 and it dates from 1962 to 1967.
