Guys, I messed up the title, and now I can't fix it. This was supposed to be a request for help. Sorry about that.
My understanding is that blades for the Veritas router plane will fit a Stanley 71, but the adjustment knob needs to be turned upside down. Someone is also selling a slightly longer treaded rod that will fit the 71 so that you can use the Veritas blades without turning the adjuster upside down.
I like the old Stanley high carbon steel plane irons, because of the way they sharpen. Are the Veritas blades similar steel? Do you like the Veritas blades? Finally, is the longer threaded rod a good idea, or does turning the adjuster knob work just fine?
Your thought will be much appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Stew
