He thought at the time that someone gave it to him when he was a young minister in the backwoods of Yarmouth NS, or upper Saint John River (NB, both Canada). Anyway, if he ever had any bits for it, they are long gone; the only bit is a very small drill bit, maybe 1/16" 1/32" in diameter. But I have never found any other bits that will fit. The guys at Lee Valley Tools were quite interested in it, but they only had Stanley bits, which were "backward" or something like that. Does anybody know where I could find more, new or used?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18272766796058691755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2693775542020483450.post-19445414450850709692020-01-02T22:20:21.304-05:002020-01-02T22:20:21.304-05:00I have a Rapier double block plane exactly as a St...I have a Rapier double block plane exactly as a Stanley #130.
