Category: Old Shoulder Planes
Extra Info: What is a Shoulder Plane? Shoulder Plane Videos
Manufacturer: Stanley
Plane Type: Shoulder Rebate
Model No: 92
The Stanley shoulder rebate plane number 92 is a 3/4 inch wide plane
used for fine work where extreme accuracy is required such as work
carried out by cabinet makers.
The sides and sole of the plane are square with each other allowing
the plane to lie perfectly flat when upright or on either side. The plane
can be used on either the right or left.
The cutting edge of the 92's plane blade spans the entire width of the
plane.
The 92 has the useful features of both the plane blade and depth of
throat opening being adjustable.
The Stanley 92 plane was coated in a nickel plating. This plating is
prone to coming off through years of use, as such these planes are
often found today with partial plating cover or even no plating cover.
The Stanley 92 plane is the narrowest of one-of-three shoulder planes in
the Stanley shoulder rebate plane range. The other two shoulder planes
in the range being the
number 93
and
94.
Also part of the range was the
smaller Stanley number 90 bullnose plane.
The plane amazingly has been manufactured since Victorian times
(19th century). The design still has a contemporary look and feel to
it. It must have been a design which really stood out in Victorian times.
Adjusting The Mouth:
The mouth of the Stanley 92 plane is adjusted by firstly loosening the locking-screw
located on top of the plane towards the back-end. The locking screw is loosened
using a flat head screwdriver).
The mouth can then be adjusted by sliding the bottom piece to the required mouth
size position.
The locking screw should then be tightened once the required mouth width is found.
Note:
Ensure all pieces are loose before making adjustments, don't force adjustments as
damage to plane parts could occur.

(I believe there
were other markings on this disc at different times in the earlier times until the
disc was removed from the design??? The 92 I believe was only made in the USA until 1958???
It was then also made in England from 1958???)
