Hock Tools | Irons And Cap Irons For Stanley Bench Planes Hock Replacement Blade For A No. 40 Scrub Plane

I am a big fan of the Stanley No. 40 Scrub plane. Since I mill wood by hand, it’s a tool that’s near and dear to my heart. While the No. 40 is not rare in the collectible sense, it is not unusual to find the plane without a proper blade. The No. 40 blade was always thicker (1/8″) than the stock blade for regular Stanley bench planes, so it’s doesn’t really work to regrind a regular bench plane blade to a curve. This replacement blade by Ron Hock is the correct thickness and comes already ground to the proper curve for a scrub plane.
