I bought a Stanley 9 1/2 block plane on ebay. What a mistake. The
Lever Cap screw is to short and only catches by about a half turn of
the threads and even then, I can't move the lever into the set
position. I think what I need is a slightly longer screw to get over
this problem. Does anyone know where a person can find a lever cap
screw that is a little longer?
Thanks in Advance,
djs

First make sure the iron and adjuster are seated properly, then afterall,
its only a screw, get a longer one.

Her extension # is (or has been maybe) 54107, so you don't run into
"that guy from Poland" ... lol, you don't want that at all.

Stop when it hurts, however long it takes bro... Lori was really cool to
