DID YOU KNOW…
Looking for diagrams to help make a hand plane or to turn a Norris adjuster? Handplane Central has several plans and diagrams on the site and we hope to add more soon. Everything you need to help get you started on making either a metal, transitional or a wooden handplane can be found here, such as this article on the famous Norris adjuster.
Stanley No. 90 Steel Cased Rabbet Plane
| Manufactured: | 1877 to 1888 |
| Length: | 9 inches |
| Blade Width: | 1 inch |
| Construction: | Steel frame with beech infill |
| Finish: | Lacquered |
| Features: | Skewed blade, side spur |
| Uses: | General purpose rabbet plane |
| Average Dealer Price: | $100 to $450 |

| Other Notes: | This plane is identical to the No. 80 steel cased rabbet plane, except this one has a side spur for cross grain cutting. These are not great planes to work with when you consider others on the market. They are often found with the sides filed wider to allow the shavings to clear more easily. |

Stanley No. 90 Steel Cased Rabbet Planes on eBay right now…
| Sources: | While many of the dealers prices for Stanley planes are largely set by John Walters’ book “Antique & Collectible Stanley Tools” it appears that eBay, while acknowledging the Walters guide somewhat, tends to march to it’s own beat and sets its own prices. For that reason – and the fact that eBay’s reach and customer base is huge – I’ve decided to include a separate eBay average price here. Other sources include: “The Antique Tool Collector’s Guide To Value” by Ronald S. Barlow, “Antique & Collectible Stanley Tools” by John Walter, “The Stanley Plane” by Alvin Sellens, “Patrick’s Blood & Gore” by Patrick Leach, various auctions and sales of collectable tools and my own compilations of prices realized, observations and notes over the past 20+ years. |
