I’m bidding on one hope dose not go to high. when they are good condition they do go up in price.
would love a Clifton multi plane but £800 a bit steep.Dagenham, Essex, England
Good luck with this one Mark. 😉
I love my Stanley #45 (same as 405). I’ve been working on a blog (and video series) for setting up and use of it. It’s probably my favorite plane to use out of what I have.
EDIT: Seems as though trying to add the image into the comment itself doesn’t work…
Nice bit of reeding Chris.
I would be very interested in your blog and videos.
If you could post link on here when you have done, that would be great.Dagenham, Essex, England
Got my 405 today needed a bit of a clean up and some of the cutters were a little rusty one was quite badly pitted but nothing a bit of grinding will not sort out. I got rid of the rust on cutters now need to flatten backs properly grind and hone.
I did have a little go using 405 with a cutter from my 050c set fitted pretty well slot in cutter slightly bigger so it worked. The 405 cutters will not fit 050c.
I really liked the knob on the fence made it easy to push against edge of wood and allow even pressure gives you good control of tool.The biggest problem I had getting plane and bits back in box I think you need a degree to work that one out.
I may buy another 405 for spares.I have also been a bit more naughty bought a restored Record 5 1/2, Brand new Stanley 90 Bullnose plane, and a brand new Stanley spokeshave 151r. I do like the look of Veritas spokeshaves. I better hold fire for a little while otherwise her in doors have my guts for garters.
