Our Hex Socket Replacement Screws: WoodRiver set, upgrades the five adjustment screws on your WoodRiver bevel down bench planes, giving you significantly better control versus the factory supplied slotted screws.

Our hex socket screw set replaces the following five factory screws: lever cap screw, chip-breaker screw, 2 x frog pin retaining screws (bedrock style), and the frog adjustment screw.

Each screw has a 3/16 inch hex socket head so that all our plane adjustment screws can be adjusted using the same size hex driver.

The underside of the lever cap screw is countersunk so that it "grips" the lever cap when pressure is applied preventing the slippage that the factory supplied lever cap screw is prone to doing.

See our Hex Drive Adjustment Drivers for use with these screws.

Nice Improvement

While I wouldn’t say this is a “must have”, this kit is a nice improvement that, along with the well designed Star Adjuster Wheel, greatly improves the ease of adjusting the frog and overall use of any hand plane.

A (small) big deal

These upgrade kits for your planes may seem a bit unnecessary or even frivolous… until you try them.

I bought them for my three Wood River v3 planes. I love how much more secure the chip breaker screw is (there is no way for the screwdriver to slip to damage the screw as was the case with the normal slotted screws). And accessing the throat adjustment screws is SO much easier with the ball-head hex driver.

Try it. It's a small thing that will make you smile each time you use your planes.

A BIG IMPROVEMENT

These hex head screws are a big improvement over the original slotted head screws! Another winner! Thanks, Rob!

WoodRiver replacement screws

Worked as advertised much easier to use than the original screws.

Great kit

Makes a huge difference in maintaining the Plane. I hated the other screws always chewed up from screw driver slipping.
