I don't see how you could attach a depth stop with that wheel, I'd bet it has a spur shaped inset underneath.I also wonder if the "wheel" is a user add-on for a lost spur? I've seen pictures of other Sargent rabbet/dado planes and they used the three pronged spur similar to that used by Stanley.
Anyone know for sure?
Oh wow thanks for the warning.Caution when using a Rebate plane...

:yes:
They do have a habit to get you.
It happens. I got burned on a few eBay plane purchases before I became familiar with planes & learned exactly what I was looking at.Sleeper said:Oh wow thanks for the warning.
I have never used one of these types of planes and I was looking forward to seeing how it works. The more I look at it, the more difficult it looks especially for narrow rabbits and I was just wondering if I may have to build some sort of jig to keep it from tilting over the edge.
Anyway I’m a little disappointed with my purchase after finding out how much the rest of the parts cost me. It reminds me of buying a car without an engine, tires or battery. The extras cost more than the car itself.
This is just so wrong! :furious: I would never do something like this.But yes, parts are expensive, which is why you see so many lots of plane bodies for sale that have been stripped.
I wish I would have seen this before buying the $30 of extra parts otherwise I would have just marked it up as a loss. Now I'm thinking I may just have to mark it up as an even bigger loss and buy a Stanley. :wallbash:That's not an original nicker. The correct one sits in beyond flush to the plane side and doesn't protrude over the groove for the depth stop. That copper pin looks like it was added, too. Stanley 78s have a depth adjuster for the blade. Plenty of those available and not too expensive since they aren't the best for rabbet work. All rabbet planes have the blade projecting flush with the plane side. Very easy to cut your fingers if you put them in the wrong place.
That cutting wheel nicker is crazy. I wonder how well it works? At the very least, very creative of the user.That's not an original nicker.
Bet if he pulls it off it has a star recess and screw hole there, previous user probably did not want to buy another nicker or did not have internet yet...That cutting wheel nicker is crazy. I wonder how well it works? At the very least, very creative of the user.
