Bring your combination plane back to life — smooth, simple, and stainless.
These 6-inch stainless steel rods are direct replacements for the Stanley No. 45 and No. 55 combination planes. They’re precision cut, rust-resistant, and ready to install right out of the box. Just wax them up and get to work.
Original rods are often pitted, frozen, or worn after decades of use. You can polish them — but stainless replacements give you smoother action, cleaner adjustments, and zero frustration. I’ve done both, and trust me — upgrading is the way to go.
Replace the tired rods, wax them, and smile — your plane just got a second life.
