Plane Irons & Accessories

We carry a wide variety of replacement plane irons for all sorts of block planes, shoulder planes, spokeshaves and bench planes, including toothed irons, cap irons, lever caps, Y-levers etc. If you are lucky enough to have a very early Stanley or Record plane with a very thin iron and would prefer not to modify it, we also stock thin replacement plane irons that will fit.

Installing good quality thicker replacement plane irons can significantly improve the performance of a hand plane on your woodworking projects, both in terms of edge quality and reducing undesirable 'flutter'.

In about 85% of cases a thicker plane iron can be installed without any other modification, just re-set the mouth opening by adjusting the frog position and you're done. If there is less than 4mm of Y-lever tab visible above the frog it may also be necessary to change the Y-lever by drifting out the tapered retaining pin and swapping them over.
