Greetings,
So I was in the market for a new front knob for my Stanley Bailey No. 5 - I had the hardware for it so I wanted just the knob. I found one on Ebay that I thought was "close enough" - and it actually is. I could use it on my plane but it bothers my OCD that it doesn't match exactly.
Does anyone know which plane it might belong to? These are the dimensions the seller gave:
Bottom Diameter: 1 1/4 inch
Bottom Hole Diameter: 5/8 inch
Thinnest Neck Diameter: 15/16 inch
Thickest Neck Diameter: 1 3/4 inch
Top Hole Diameter: 1/2 inch
Height: 2 3/4 inch
However, the "top hole" diameter is actually a bit larger than 1/2'' - it's probably more like 9/16''.
And I think for the Bailey No. 5 it should be 7/16'', right?
Any rate - here are some images next to know I want to replace (you'll see why I wanted to replace it haha).
If anyone knows what it is and wants it they can have it for free if they cover shipping :)
Thanks!
