Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have been waiting a long time to purchase a 45 and just recently found one that didn’t cost an arm and leg. I have found your videos very helpful for all my planes.

Definitely needed this video, need this video and will need this video.

That was a lot of fun. I use the cam rest for any cut where I want to stabilize the plane; helps keep it vertical. Slitter would have easily popped that wood off if you had done the other side as well. 45 is a very handy tool. Use mine all the time.

I was lucky enough to have a complete cam rest with both No 45s I have. I recently found one with a micro fence as well. I was super excited about. Great video series so far!

Thanks again. This was very helpful 🙂

What an awesome resource, especially for someone new to a 45.

Pura vida mi amigo great review could you made a video about a type study of the Stanley 45 combinations planes ? Pura vida

Great video and very detailed. Thank you!

Great video MJ. As CS would say " Cheers "

Great instruction - thanks a lot, Gershom Ratheiser (the Netherlands)

I received a #45 from my great uncle after he died . Now maybe I can gdt to using it.

Thanks for the informative video! It's very timely for me, as I just fell down the rabbit hole. I now have a very incomplete 45 with good bones. Will be asking you about some parts!

thank you! great content and presentation.

Great presentation. Thank you

This is very helpful.

Videos like yours are great for knowing what to expect when buying or what to buy thereafter 👍. I received a Stanley no.45 in the mail on Thursday. Looks like a similar year with the SW logo as well. I negotiated down to a more reasonable price as it lacks the camber leveller, the two auxiliary depth stops and the cutters except one 1/8” iron that was in the tool. After an initial cleaning and oiling it appears to be mechanically sound. I have a set of no.50 cutters that I will notch on the side and use while I wait for a good deal to come around. It’s my preference to buy tools in needs of restoration to use. I would not want to use a museum piece and the tool becomes a personalised to my style of use.

Thanks so much just received mine today. I need some reference material you mentioned for setup and operation if you have available. I would like to order from you.

Great vid. Much help trying to get my head around latest purchase. It's missing a few bits and pieces that I will acquire over time. The one part I am curious about is the thread on part 86, the fence arm set screw on the movable fence. The other flat head thumb screws and the arm set screws all appear to be 1/4-28 not easily found in Australia where metric rules. Can anyone offer help with thread specs?

Excellent presentation! Have you ever tried using Lee Valley's combination plane fluting blades in the Stanley 45?

Great video, just picked one of these up tonight for a great price, with the only issue being that the set screw for the adjustable fence was sheared off. I was able to get everything apart without damage but do you have any advice on removing what's left of the screw and then finding a replacement?

Haha yeah the screwdriver would be nice, as well as the spares. I just got an almost complete 45 with the cutters for super cheap and the screw for the spurs are just barely useable to remove. Do the screws and spurs on a no. 78 fit on the 45? Still fun to use though! I’m planning on trying to make a couple hollow and round bases as an experiment since those are supposed to be rare.

Pura vida mi amigo could make one video about each type thanks .pura vida guys

My complete Stanley 45: metalic box...

Icneed a left sided fence for a Stanley 55 and the blade boxes i got all the blades. Also i need a screw that locks the skate adjuster where the rods slide in. Idkcthe name of the locker

Do you have any pointers on how to sharpen the "slitter" that is used for veneer?

It’s a wonder that anybody can find a complete 45 given the myriad of parts!

Do you still have the two catalogs you showed in this video?

Nice channel new discovery for me. Am wondering if you have spare parts for sale for Stanley planes?

So there's more than one #45 model? My 45 has no micro adjustable fence 🤔

Hi, can you help me find two brass screws for the handle of a Stanley no. 12 scraper please?

Where can I get the black covered book do you have them for sale

What is an original, full set going for now? Original box, instructions, everything in seemingly unused condition . Thank you

MJ, wife picked up a bunch of planes for me. Have a 54 , just missing rods both short and long. Are 50 and 54 interchangeable?

You're a smart fellow on Stanley planes, so I have a question, but maybe not necessarily in your wheel house. I have asked a few people and no one seems to know answer. On Stanley later series (5 digit) plow combination plains not have a 3/4 inch cutter? For example my 12-250 has 17 piece cutter set and three others but goes from 5/8 to 7/8, skipping 3/4 and it is not listed as available in manual.Just curious to me.
