Stanley 47 Adjustable Dado
Plane
offered 1876 - 1923
10 1/2" long with 5 or 6 cutters, depending on model.
Sizes : 3/8, 1/2, 5/8, 7/8, 1 1/4 and later addition 13/16"
Doesn't show up often and if it does it's usually
sold as a 46. Stanley used a slightly modified version of the 46 and
later models actually have the number 46 cast in the front. The
most obvious difference: Short rods, no fence, depth stop eliminated
from main body (see insert picture for comparison) If in doubt don't buy
the ones with the model number on the side and stay away from the ones
that come with a guard plate (see 46)
