If you work on old planes, you will use these.

Common jobs:
Fence screws
Depth stops
Accessory mounts
Those random threaded holes that show up on 100-year-old castings

Compatibility (10-28 x 3/8")

This is the common 10-28 accessory screw used for most depth stops and light-duty tightening across vintage planes.

• Stanley 78 — depth stop + fence tightening screw
• Stanley 90 / 93 / 94 / 95 / 96 / 97 / 98 / 99 — most screws (excluding the grip screw)
• Stanley 45 — adjustable fence side locking screw
• Early Stanley 80 — works on early models; Sweetheart and later use a different screw
• Stanley 66 — guide screws (note: the rear screw is longer ~15mm)

Note: For most spokeshave lever caps, many people prefer the non-slotted version we sell.

Why People Prefer These

• Stainless steel — no rust issues
• Correct 10-28 threads — starts clean and installs smooth
• Hand-tight friendly head — easy to snug down without tools
• Deep slot — finish the job clean with a screwdriver

Most hand plane users like this style because it feels right: snug it by hand, then lock it in.

Buy a few. You’ll use them.

Once they’re in your drawer, you stop hunting screws and start using tools.
