LV Goes above and beyond

[Rob Luter]

I took advantage of the free shipping period to order up a couple block plane blades for my antique knuckle joint Stanley #18 & #65. They showed up last night, and when I opened the package I got a nice surprise. Included at no charge were a couple of plane blade cases. They'll be a good place to store the vintage blades for safekeeping.

Thanks again LV and Veritas!

I think they always include those when you buy replacement irons. Mine all came with them too.

[Tony Wilkins]

Yes, but they’re still nice to have.

[Dave Zellers]

Same here. Two pm-V11 block plane replacement blades. It's how they package them.

[Rob Luter]

Bad news. Neither blade fits my planes.

The distance from the cutting edge to the holes the adjuster sits in are such that on the #18 it's not possible to set the depth adjustment to a place where the plane will take a shaving. The edge is either retracted or too far extended too far no matter where you set the adjustment.

On my #65, the cap screw isn't long enough to accommodate the extra blade thickness.

Oh well. Glad they accept returns.
