Patrick Leach says the 75 is good for “trimming and odd rabbeting.” the sides are not flush, so you can’t use it on its side (like to clean up the shoulder of a tenon). to use it to make a rabbet, you’d need to tack a fence to the work and some how control the depth.
I carry one with my carpentry tools. my 90 stays in the workshop.
the 78 has a fence, depths stop, and a nicker for cross grain, so it’s a completly different tool.31 May 2021 at 12:51 am #715058[quote quote=715052]What about trying some cushioning material between the screw and rod. (leather?, copper? ) (not tested)[/quote]
that was something I was going to try, the slop is about ~1/32 and I need to find some shim stock or tape that won’t jam up.

I don’t think a new depth guage or straightening the old one would work. I might not have mentioned it, but the beading stop is perpendicular and it also does not align with the skate.
Since the hole is out of alignment, bending the depth stop to align with the skate would only work for one depth.
27 May 2021 at 12:31 am #714881The T&G guide was in alignment on the fence.
I’d rather not sell as I got it from a dealer and it included the box and (more importantly, all the cutters and pieces). I also got a set of short arms for it, and I like the cutter adjustment, much better than the Stanley 50.
The other alternative is to try to find a body without any other parts.
Or see if the dealer has any other 050 for sale.
Rig up a alternate depth stop.
Or just use my Stanley 45 or 46, although I like the smallet plane.This is a latter vintage model. Came with the cutters in a plastic envelope instead of the box.

Looks way off in bothe directions.I rechecked. Looks like the depth stop is slightly off perpendicular, but not enough for the skew. the beading stop is perpendicular, and it shows skew in the plane once tightened.
While loose, the depth stop is almost in line, but once tightened, it goes out of perpendicular.Do You think there’s any sort of modification to the set screw or shaft that could eliminate the slop?
Thanks

SortKwik, it’s used on fingertips for handling money and paper, could probably get it in a stationary store.
Gorilla Snot, used by guitarists to make their pick sticky and not fly out of their hands during a guitar solo.
I do use SortKwick – I can’t turn a page of a book w/o it or licking my finger. I haven’t tried it in the shop, but I will now.
Both might costly though, They only come in small jars. 🙂- This reply was modified 2 years, 11 months ago by Patrick Lundrigan.
21 May 2021 at 1:44 pm #714112I tried it with other depth stops, with no change. It looks like the angle of the hole is not perpendicular — which made me wonder if it was by design or accident.
It does make depth setting tricky. a little bit of trial and error. -
