I hadn't expected it to works that well. <br />But without it.. The plane was close to impossible to use.<br /><br />It seems logical that those deflectors are often found missing, after all if they were only used for the tonguing they wouldn't see much action, and you wouldn't notice if they were gone until you needed them. And if you had a dedicated T&G plane, that would be never.<br /><br />But it is interesting to see that the piece really does make a difference, I mean you are not in doubt when the plane jams up, because it just stops working completely. <br /><br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-7588459949763469752017-04-22T05:11:29.800-07:002017-04-22T05:11:29.800-07:00Ah yes, shaving deflections.

The Achilles heel of many joinery planes.<br />There are a multitude of various attempts to fix this problem, some work, some are utterly useless, being far too far from the shaving actions.<br />If you look at a typical wooden moulder plane, the tip of the wedge is shaped to provide that deflection, it also works in conjunction with the inside of the mortise for the wedge. Some are ridiculously too far away to work, either because the tip of the wedge has been broken and reshaped wrong or just plain bad geometry with all the critical pieces involved. Metallic planes are a different beast, having no sole (uses a skate) and no real real estate above the cutter to deflect chips. The other jamming issues involved our hands location on the plane, those chips need an escape, if you block it, they will jam. All that to say that chip deflectors must be shaped appropriately and have a smooth surface for the chip to glide effortlessly, or....<br /><br />Bob, the old tool guy Valley Woodworkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322487171914484954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-74744903450304283372017-04-21T13:54:38.602-07:002017-04-21T13:54:38.602-07:00Hi Bill.

But I have never seen a No 43 in real life, so I could be wrong.<br />The strange thing about the #50 is that the tonguing blade is the only blade to cause problems since it extends further to the side than the skate itself.<br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-20403492282418627222017-04-21T05:56:24.472-07:002017-04-21T05:56:24.472-07:00Also, here is a link to a great little manual for ...Also, here is a link to a great little manual for the plane http://www.cornishworkshop.co.uk/record043manual.pdf<br />confusedwoodworker@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07388390480569098626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-22069495184051076522017-04-21T05:55:37.862-07:002017-04-21T05:55:37.862-07:00I have an 043 as well, but I don't recall it e...I have an 043 as well, but I don't recall it ever jamming up too badly.

The lower part was formed with a hacksaw and a file. I scribed the angles directly from the plane.<br />I offset the stem maybe 1/16" in the lathe, because the piece of brass I had found wasn't a very large diameter. If you start out with a piece that is maybe 5/8" you can have the stem made in the middle and there should still be plenty of material to make the deflector part itself.<br />I am not sure if the stem has got the same diameter on a No 43, but I just measured the stem for the depth stop, as it normally occupies the same position. <br />Good luck with the project.<br />Brgds<br />Jonas<br />Jonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-45592838486802609492017-04-21T01:10:45.381-07:002017-04-21T01:10:45.381-07:00I'll be checking my Stanley 45 to see if I can...I'll be checking my Stanley 45 to see if I can do something similar.
