Customer Reviews
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 Lie Nielsen 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 star 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 the Lie Nielsen 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 Lie Nielsen bench planes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5-1/4, 10-1/4, 62, 164, 51 or other LN planes.
- Diameter: 1-7/8 inch outside diameter.
I recently upgraded my favorite 5 1/2 Lie-Nielsen hand plane with the AdjuSTAR 2.0 and the Hex bolt hardware. This was an outstanding improvement, I don't even have to look to adjust the blade depth now and it's a lot smoother than before with that tiny knob on a large hand plane. I plan to order another AdjuSTAR for my 10 1/4 Lie-Nielsen to improve functionality.
The AdjuSTAR 2.0 is one of the best upgrades you can make to improve your Lie-Nielsen hand planes (and other brands, too)! It makes adjusting and using your plane faster and easier. I couldn't be more pleased, and now I have them on my Nos. 4-1/2, 5-1/2, and 7 planes. I just received a new No. 10-1/4, so I'll also add an AdjuSTAR Mini to it. I also recommend Rob's hex socket replacement screws - they make plane frog adjustments much easier, especially when combined with the AdjuSTAR.
I’m aging, hands not as strong as they once were. These really help adjusting my planes to get those perfect shavings.
Fits my LN 41/2 perfectly . Most important , I have arthritus and this makes small adjustments on the fly a breeze . Wish I had purchaesed it when I got my 41/2 .
Good quality fit my planes perfectly
