Ode to the #8



Some people aren't 8 fans. I understand that. Or they prefer a 7. Don't understand that. The difference between them isn't that great and if I'm gonna have mass, I want the most mass available. But hey - you like a 7 more? Wonderful. Enjoy your 7.

I've owned two 8's. Sold the first one, and restored another one that was used for the first time today after replacement blade and chip breaker arrived. You get that thing going down a 34 inch table-leg-in-the-rough and zoom! It doesn't stop. Knots, wavy grain - nothin. Mows it all down. Love it.

Cellphone pictures for now, will try to get the good camera pointed at them tomorrow/over the weekend.

They are, left to right, 8, 7, 6, 6 (this was the first 6 I got, and the wrong type), 5-1/2, 5, 4-1/2, 4.

All of them are of the type where the patent date was still cast into the lever cap thumb screw, except the 2nd #6, which is the newer thumb screw with out patent date. All of these were made after Stanley bought Siegley
