I need a 3/8" blade for my Veritas router plane (the full size one). But guess what? Veritas doesn't make one of that size. I see that Lie-Nielsen does make a 3/8" blade router plane blade (1-BL-71). I'm wondering whether that blade will fit my Veritas plane.
Here's one more clue. The Lee Valley description of their blades mentions "Our high-carbon steel router plane blades fit our Veritas Router Plane and our Veritas Hinge Mortise Plane, as well as Stanley #71 router planes (with the height-adjustment nut inverted).". The Lie-Nielsen router plane seems to be based on the Stanley 71 (they even call theirs a 71). On that basis I would think that the LN blade would fit my Veritas plane (possibly using some inverted nut trickery).
Does anyone know for sure? Or does anyone know of other sources for a 3/8" router plane blade that should work?
Thanks, Mark
