Stanley 45 Slitter

[Steven Green]

I was given a complete stanley 45 a couple of days ago by my bride. The slitter is in tough shape and I noticed that it has been sharpened on both sides. Is this correct? My cutting gauge is only sharp on one side

Yes, take a look here for more information:

Most questions about a slitter are whether or not it has a patent date or where to get one.

It is one of the most commonly missing parts.
