jmk89 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 There used to be a website that Jim Barker maintained called The Slippery Slope. One of its features was a comparison of the numbers Stanley, Sargent, Millers Falls and Record used for their planes. The Slippery Slope site seems to have disappeared and Archive.org only seems to have archived the page for smoothers. Does anyone know whether the information has been preserved somewhere and if so how it can be accessed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 The only reference I could find was no longer valid. Do you know anyone who might know him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilburpan Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 I don't know if this was lifted from Jim Barker's site (or vise-versa), but WoodCentral has a PDF file with a cross reference of Stanley, Millers Falls, Record, and Sargent bench planes ranging from Stanley #1 to #8, along with the 1/2, 1/4, and corrugated models. http://www.woodcentral.com/bparticles/planexref.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMarcel Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 What was the URL of the site? TheSlipperySlope.com returned some legal podcast for me. Search Google's cache; if it disappeared in the past 3 months, you could see the last view and save it locally. Enter "cache:URL" in the Google search box.

jmk89 Posted April 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 The only way to find it that I know of is through the Wayback Machine It only has the bench plane page, not the other planes that Jim had compared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
