Have opportunity to buy a Stanley #45 combination plane set with cutters, cutter boxes and master box ...Appears very good condition but have not physically seen yet.My question is which is the better of the 2 Stanley comb plane offerings (45 or 55)? Should I hold off and later look for a #55 or pursue this offering?
In your opinion, which of the 2 do you prefer and advantages/disadvantages of each? I realize the #55 was the "improved" version with more planing possibilities and advantages. Is that marketing hype or genuine?
I'll hold off on my decision till I hear your input/comments....Thanks in advance...
