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.
I bought one for my Wood River No. 5. It certainly makes turning the nob easier. Sometimes though it seems to be turning too freely until it runs up against resistance then it seems normal. It tends to get loose and the lever cap almost falls off. I wonder if i'm doing something incorrectly
best product ever for hand planes!
I ordered this after having my WR 5 1/2 plane for a couple weeks. It's truly a wonder why the stock adjusters aren't styled like this. Makes it WAY easier to adjust on the fly, and easier for a fine adjustment. At under $50, it's a steal - no-brainer.
Such a simple upgrade, yet such a huge impact. Love it!
It seems like such a small modification to an already great plane, but the AdjuSTAR is an actual game changer! Adjusting the plane with this, including fine-tune adjustments, is just so much simpler and precise compared to using the stock adjuster wheel.
The only problem is that my leg is starting to hurt badly, as I keep kicking myself for not having bought these a year ago!
