Hi!
I just brought at S&J 12” tenonsaw – just to try it out. The saw is quite heavy approx. 640 grams, the sawblade is 0,7mm thick.
Before I could use the saw I had to sharpen and reset the teeth. There was too much set on the teeth. I also had to wipe off the blade with paint thinner, like Mr. Sellers recommended, to get rid of the thin layer of varnish that prevents the blade from rusting.
Finally I reshaped the handle. The handle I too small for me, even though I have a medium size hand.
I would recommend the saw, but it needs a lot of work to get going.
I compared it with the Veritas carcass saw.Attachments:

You are right about the wheel. It´s steel, not aluminum. I just tested with a magnet. The nuts are aluminum.
All Stanley planes “made in England” with plastic handles and stamped G12-005 (Stanley #5) are made after 1983. That´s the only clue I can find on the internet. This one only says Made in England so it must be a pre 1983 plane. My guess would also be the 70´s.

Thank you for your help, I really appreciate that.15 May 2016 at 8:42 pm #137212Thank you for your reply. According to rexmill.com this may be correct for a Stanley plane made in USA. But this plane was made in England.
