Kerfing Plane Kit for Stanley No 50 Light Plough Plane
After much testing and redesign to improve functionality and reduce cost, the Loon Lake Tool Works Kerfing Plane Kit for the Stanley No 50 Light Plough Plane is ready! The three components in the kit will convert nearly any Stanley No 50 into a kerfing plane used to prepare lumber for resawing with a rip handsaw. A shallow kerf cut into all four sides of the board will encourage the saw to follow the cut without the need to constantly check on the whereabouts of the saw blade, drastically improving the quality of the cut, while reducing sawing time and effort. The kit has been checked for fitment on most of the versions made after 1900. It will work on any model that has nickel plating. It will NOT work on the Type 1 model, which can be identified by the black Japanned finish. This model has a shorter fence that will not properly guide the kerfing blade. Stanley did revert to a wartime Japanned finish for a short period in the early 1940s. The kit will work fine on this one too. To see
