Read Workshop Heaven Reviews

Ray Iles RI021 2" (50mm) plane iron fits the Stanley No.4 & No.5 (Bailey pattern or Bedrock pattern), Record No.4 & No.5, Quangsheng No.4 & No.5 and equivalents
This high quality 2 - 2.5mm thin iron, made from O1 carbon steel hardened to RC59-61, is designed as a drop in replacement for valuable old tools where alteration of the mouth may adversely affect their value. Installing a Quangsheng or Clifton cap iron with this blade will give 80-90% of the benefit that would be achieved with a thicker iron.
Approximate Measurements:
Overall blade length: 190mm (7½")
Blade width: 50mm (2")
Blade thickness: 2-2.5mm (⅛")

Transformed my 50 year old Record smoothing plane, (bought new by me). Its old iron had been sharpened to a place where the steel was slightly porous steel and its ability to hold an edge in hardwood was very much reduced. Now perfectly restored. Wonderful!

I have replaced the blade in my father’s old Stanley Baily Smoothing plane, I can’t believe how much better it is now compared with the old blade the transformation is amazing!

Great replacement plane iron, sharpens and hones well with oilstones and strop, leaving a very sharp cutting edge. I use this in a vintage Bailey pattern Stanley jack with a quangsheng cap iron with no issues. Great service from Workshop Heaven as always.
