Mysterious plane parts?

>The parts that I see are for a depth gauge for gimlet or Russel Jennings type bits. THey work really well for uniform depth of cuts. It has nothing to do w/45.

I looked at my manual and no parts seem to match the ones you show.

I'm wondering if those are parts to another plane like the 55

or some other stanley plane/tool.

>Is funny but this isn't the first time that I have seen these no. 49 adjustable bit gages confused with a Stanley 45 or 55 part....Wonder if somewhere somebody has a 45 cam wired to an auger bit, eh? ....Todd ...p.s. don't know what that round thing in the center is for

>Similarly the Lewin combination plane seems to attract parts from router planes. I'm thinking of leaving one out as bait in the hopes I can lure enough parts to make a whole #71... :~)

>Well then I'm leaving a chunk of mahogany on my bench hoping an infill will appear! And I think I will get a decal off a Rolls Roice inside the gas compartment that says unleaded gasoline only and leave it in the garage why I am at it. might even paint federal reserve bank on the gun volt who knows?

>Yep, looks like a complete bit gauge but as far as the extra part, is that a ball shape or a wingnut shape (i.e. is it concave or convex).

Mike - who needs a screw/washer/wingnut for an incomplete bit gauge (yeah, I should probably give Lori a call)
