In the process of building that box....had a bunch of resets on the Stanley #45 to do....mainly changing where the fence will be, and whether short or long rods were to be used....decided to make some things a bit..easier to do To change those rods...there are 4 thumbscrews to loosen, and tighten back up, with one too close the the handle area. They all needed a pair of needle nosed pliers to get them to ...move...look right under the wheel to adjust the depth of cut....so... I retired these two (FIRED!) and stashed them away...had a pair of slotted bolts to replace them....instead of pliers, I can just... Use something like this....like on the rest of the plane....which leaves these two... I don't have any to replace these two, they are a lot longer, and have pointed end. About all I could do was pull them both out, clean the crud in the threads, give the threads a drop (a SMALL one) of 3in1 oil, and run them back in....they work a little better,,,still need pliers, but these are easier to get to. Issue came up with the #12 cutter I had been using for 1/4" wide grooves....when I tried to level the grooves bottom with the router plane...the new Veritas 1/4" cutter would not fit in the 1/4" groove.. Measured the with of the Veritas...0.252"....the #12? 0.249" wide....could be a problem? Dug out the other 1/4" sized cutter I have for the #45 plane.. Only marking is a "T"...measured it....0.251" wide. needed a bit of sharpening, bevel was rounded a bit, back needed flattened....then, while the stones were handy, worked on the Veritas as well, had a chip-out in the edge. I also stoned both sides of the cutter to match the 0.251" reading I need.. "New" cutter in the #45 plane, and a fresh groove made....then tried the router plane for size... need a bit of wax, but it did slide right along...Router is set up like this, so it can travel along the jig. Went back to "normal setting" later.. When I had a bit more"elbow room".... Now I have to go shopping for fence bolts.....may just chase the threads and use NEW thumbscrews....IF I can point the edges to match Stanley's bolts.

I got a carport and it has been in storage for a few years and when I go to put it together no bolts. I can't find any locally. I don't know what to call them. Its about 1/4" dia & 2 1/2" long. I have been to Lowes and Fastenal and others. If I knew what to name it. Preston
