A while back, I picked up a Miller Falls 22c (a jointer plane, if you don’t know) at an estate sale. I am in the process of restoring it, and the chip breaker and the iron are in pretty rough shape. The iron is bent (!?) at the heal. And both are oxidized reddish-black. Also the iron is relatively thin. I would guess 2/3 the thickness of the iron in my #4
I have bought replacement irons for my #4 but I have no idea where to find irons for this thing. Would it be worth talking to a blacksmith?
I’m in Colorado, US for what its worth.
As near as I can tell the blade is the same size as a Stanley 7. Any aftermarket 2 ⅜” blade should work as the frog is the same.
If you go the vintage blades route, make sure there are no rust pits on the back of the blades.
