Question 1

What is the Stanley 1-12-333 38mm Carbon Steel Plane Iron used for?

Accepted Answer

This is a replacement blade for the Stanley 78 Rebate Plane. It measures 38 mm in width, is made from carbon steel, and is designed to deliver two cutting positions for different joinery tasks when used with the 78 rebate plane.

Question 2

What are the two cutting positions and how do I use them?

Accepted Answer

The blade supports two cutting modes: a standard cut and a 90-degree beveled side for beveling rabbets on edges and corners. The design allows you to switch between these positions to achieve different rabbeting and edge-conditioning results without changing blades.

Question 3

What are the key specifications of this blade?

Accepted Answer

Key specs: width 38 mm (1-1/2 in), carbon steel construction, double-ended design for versatility, precision milled for accurate, clean cuts. It is part of the Stanley 78 Rebate Plane tooling set and is used with the accompanying hardwood wedge and depth-stop system.

Question 4

How do I install this plane iron in a Stanley 78 Rebate Plane?

Accepted Answer

To install: loosen the wooden wedge and remove the old blade if present. Place the 1-12-333 blade with the correct orientation so the cutting edge faces the workpiece. Reseat the blade, re-tighten the wedge, and adjust the depth stop to set the desired cut depth. Ensure the blade is seated securely before use.

Question 5

How should I maintain and sharpen the blade for longevity?

Accepted Answer

Keep the edge sharp with regular honing on a fine sharpening stone or diamond stone. After use, clean off debris, dry thoroughly to prevent rust, and lightly oil the blade to protect the steel. Re-check the edge for burrs and re-lap as needed to maintain a clean cut.

Question 6

What kinds of projects benefit most from this blade?

Accepted Answer

Great for creating rabbets, crisp edge details, and precise stop cuts in solid wood. The beveled edge option is useful for bevel rabbets along edges and corners, while the standard edge handles straight cuts and rebates efficiently.

Question 7

Is this blade compatible with other Stanley planes besides the 78 Rebate Plane?

Accepted Answer

This blade is specifically designed for use with the Stanley 78 Rebate Plane. While it may physically fit other configurations, optimal performance and safety are guaranteed when used with the intended model and its wedge/depth-stop system.

Question 8

What safety precautions should I follow when handling replacement blades?

Accepted Answer

Always wear eye protection and cut-resistant gloves when handling or mounting blades. Clamp your work securely, handle the blade by the edges, and ensure the blade is fully seated and the wedge is properly fixed before starting any machining.

Question 9

How does this blade compare to other options on Fepy.com?

What is the return policy if the blade doesn’t meet my needs?

Accepted Answer

Question 11

Are there any practical tips for achieving the best results with this blade?

Accepted Answer

Ensure the blade edge is keen and free of nicks, set the depth-stop accurately for a consistent cut, and use a light touch when making rabbet or edge cuts to avoid tear-out. Regular maintenance and verifying blade alignment before each session will yield the cleanest finishes.
