Do you find that using your plane's adjusting knob is a bit difficult? Well we did and decided to fix that by creating our Plane AdjuSTAR 2.0 adjusting knob to replace the original adjusting knob on most WoodRiver & Luban bench planes.
Our Plane AdjuSTAR 2.0 is larger and much easier to use than the original adjusting knob allowing you to make adjustments to your blade depth setting easily. Our design makes it easier for you to reach and turn the adjuster with your fingers and easier for you to reach the frog adjustment screw with a screwdriver. We know you will love our Plane AdjuSTAR 2.0.
DETAILS:
- Made of forged brass.
- Designed to fit WoodRiver and Luban brand bench planes numbers 4-1/2, 5, 5-1/2, 6, 7, and 8. Requires removal of handle to install (see installation video).
- WIll Not Fit the WoodRiver or Luban bench planes number 1, 3, 4 and 62.
- Diameter: 1-7/8 inch outside diameter.
The new star blade adjuster is great! It is so much easier to adjust than the knurled wheel. I like the ability to adjust while planing to get the proper cut needed. Fine tuning is a snap. It's too bad that these have not been a new design addition for the manufacturers.
Well designed and manufactured the Cosman Adjustar is perfect for improving the performance of your hand plane with less effort, especially for old arthritic hands
It did not fit my woodriver 4 1/2. The spokes of the star did not clear the blade/chipbreaker. After a little grinding they did and it works well now.
I have very large hands and it's tough to get my index finger into the space to adjust the blade depth. The "spokes" on the adjust star are perfect. I can adjust while keeping the plane engaged on the wood with just my index finger. Also, the adjustment is more precise.
Purchased a few of these now both Woodriver and couple Stanley. Wow make a huge difference. I have bad hands and this really makes a big difference I can adjust easy
