Manufacturer: Stanley
Plane Type: Rebate / Rabbet / Carriage Makers
Model No: 10
The Stanley 10 plane is a 13" jack rebate plane which is also referred
to as a Stanley bench rabbet plane and was originally listed as a Stanley
Carriage Makers Plane No. 10.
The Stanley 10 has a mouth which spans the full width of the plane with
the open sides.
These openings on the sides are in place so the plane blade edge reaches
right across the full width of the plane. This feature makes the plane
well suited to rebate work.
The Stanley 10 is a cast iron plane equipped with a carriage makers
plane blade, cap iron, lever cap, and hardwood handle and front knob.
The earlier Stanley 10's had a shorter front knob, these planes are
often referred to as low knob Stanley 10 planes.
The plane blade and the cap iron are specific to this type of carriage makers plane.
The blade and cap iron are a special 'T' shape in order to fit into the plane wall
openings.
The Stanley 10 plane blade and cap iron also fits the Stanley 10 1/2.
The
Stanley 10 1/2 Plane
is a shorter version of the Stanley 10.

The Stanley 10 plane was manufactured for a long time, as a result this plane is

"Just stumbled across your website and an absolute treasure trove of information.
I was recently given an old Stanley 110 block plane and wanted to know more about it.
Your website told me everything I needed to know.
But there is so much more to read. I forsee me spending a lot of time just reading
page after page. I can appreciate how much time this will have taken to put together.
I just wanted to let you know that your hard work is appreciated."
