I’m looking for a reference source with information about the Stanley 45. Specifically, I’d like to know if I have a complete set of cutters. I understand that at different times the plane came with varying numbers of blades.

Anyone have a good source?

“The Stanley ‘Forty-Five’ Combination Plane” by David E. Heckel

Seems like I got my copy off of ebay. Lots of information about the creation and evolution of the 45, including how to determine the age of the tool and to assign it a “type”. Very little info about how to actually use it, though.
