Corrugations - Before or After
Todd Stock
>Although the corrugations in the LNs and Records def appear to be milled after the body casting is machined, anyone know for certain whether Stanley cast the corrugations in, then machined, or added them afterwards. Looking at one of my #5s, it almost looks like they were just cast in - no tool marks.

>I don't know. My dad has the only one I regularly see,and the corrugations a)look far to clean for a casting; b) are just what i would expect from a fly cutter.

>I only have a Sargent 409C VBM and it too looks like the sole was machined not cast with corrugations.
