    Default Can you make this please - Bailey adjustment lever disc

    Hi all i usually lurk over in the woodwork section.
    I was wondering if any one would be interested in making me a disc as per the photo out of 7/16 inch rod. I am not sure of the width or the internal hole required at this stage, probably can supply one to be copied.
    Thanks in advance
    Paul

    Hi Paul,

    PM me your mailing address, and I'll sort something out.

    Ray i have posted these pictures as a reply to your pm.
    These are 2 different frogs of the same type ( 3 patent date 5 1/2) one with the disc and the one that requires repair. Whats interesting is that there is an internal rod 7/64 in diameter and the outer sheath ( measurement as per photo, not able to calculate this into a fractional inch as imperial is not my first language). The internal diameter would need to be slightly greater than the pin.
    Not sure how i would replicate the rod / sheath arrangement - probably will use the one rod. I also noted that the pin is not peened over like the later models.

    The thickness of the disc is 5/64.

    Regards
    Paul

    Hi Paul,

    Stick with metric, it's easier

    Thanks for the measurements and pictures, can you measure the width of the slot in the blade ( should be around 12mm ) and the blade thickness.

    I'll make the disk diameter to fit the slot in the blade, so that you don't have too much backlash on the lateral adjustment lever.

    Still thinking about the center pin....

    EDIT: I think this would work, but I'd need to know the diameter and height of the center pin.


    The inner diameter at the top would be a neat fit on the smaller pin, and with a slight countersink you could carefully peen the center pin very slightly to lock it.
    I've heard of people cracking frogs when peening the lateral adjuster, so you need to be a bit careful...


    Regards
    Ray

    Default Lateral Adjuster

    Ray
    I made one like you propose for a Stanley No 3 Plane & it worked well.
    regards

    I posted these photos to show that the centre pin and the outside sheath are the same height. Not sure if this changes any thing?
