Hi,
I recently purchased a Stanley No 7 joiner plane. The blade has a little over an inch left on it, so I thought I would do some research on a replacement. I'm fairly new to woodworking, and had a few questions.
With about 1.25 inches, how long could I expect this to last? Used sort of infrequently for occasional projects.
For $30, I can get a nice Sweetheart era blade. Or, there is the Veritas blade route. Is there any sort of consensus on replacing old blades with the Veritas blades? Is one type of Veritas blade favored (ie. PMV11?)
Thanks!
