Question 3

Which planes or tools will it fit?

Accepted Answer

It’s intended for Bailey-style planes and any setup that accepts a 50 mm iron. Check your plane’s mouth width to confirm compatibility with a 50 mm blade.

Question 4

How do I install this iron in a Bailey plane?

Accepted Answer

Steps: 1) Remove the plane’s lever cap and old iron. 2) Clean the bed and ensure it’s free of debris. 3) Insert the new iron with the bevel facing down toward the mouth. 4) Align the edge with the mouth opening. 5) Refit the lever cap and secure the iron. 6) Make a test cut and adjust the depth as needed.

Question 5

How should I sharpen and maintain the blade for best results?

Accepted Answer

Sharpen by flattening the back and honing the edge on a fine stone. Start with a suitable primary bevel (commonly around 25–30 degrees for metal plane irons) and use a light micro-bevel as needed. Keep the edge clean and dry after use, and lightly oil to prevent corrosion. Regular maintenance helps preserve a razor-sharp edge.

Question 6

How do I adjust the depth and alignment for controlled shavings?

Accepted Answer

Adjust the depth by using the plane’s depth adjustment mechanism to protrude the iron edge a precise amount. Start with a shallow cut and test on scrap wood, then increase depth gradually while keeping the iron aligned with the mouth for uniform shavings.

Question 7

What are common use cases for this blade?

Accepted Answer

Ideal for smoothing, fine finishing, trimming, and light grooving on hardwoods or softwoods. Its 50 mm width supports controlled material removal with good stability in tighter workpieces.

Question 8

What safety considerations should I keep in mind when handling a fresh blade?

Accepted Answer

Handle the blade with care, keep it pointed away from your body, wear cut-resistant gloves when handling, and store it with a blade guard or in a protective sheath to prevent accidental contact.
