Stanley planes by number 75
Stanley 75 bullnose rebate plane offered 1879 - 1983 A lot of buyers opt for this cheaper version bullnose plane. Some are disappointed. It has an adjustable mouth but, unlike the 90s series planes, you can't use it without the front piece for stop bullnose work. You need to keep the front piece on because it holds the lever cap. Cutter sizes varied by 1/16" during the production period. Take the lever cap out and check whether the blade sits correctly in the bed. Make sure the clamp holds the blade tightly. I have come across many planes that didn't work because somebody married parts from different makers.
