Stanley #12 scraper blade

[michaelgarner]

Hello friends,
I was wondering if you fine people knew of any place I could purchase a Stanley #12 scraper blade. I looked at the usual WW places on the net and the closest one was from LN using one of their #112 blades. It is is only 2 7/8" wide. The slot of the one I just purchased (stole it on ebay, without a blade though) 3 7/16" wide. Thanks for your help in advance friends, have a blessed day.


P.S. I am inserting a picture of this even though it is not in my possession.

I know you don't want to order from Australia, but this guy makes them from saw blades. You might want to give a go at cutting an old saw blade and making your own.

Thanks George I am going to order a blade from them next payday. In the mean time I have an old craftsman saw that just volunteered for this I think. Anyone know the original thickness of the blade on a #12? Thanks for your help friends.

Nice grab! You'll enjoy that No 12 for sure! I often switch out the blade from my No 80 cabinet scraper to use in my No 12.... just another idea to consider. No 80's can be had for pretty cheap.

Very nice. Hit Walt Q in Waterbury CT with an email. He will set you up with a used one at a fair price.

well after seeing what Monty posted I went through all of my hand tool parts and found a spair #80 blade. I will see how that works and will deffinately outsource from some of the suggested sellers and methods for a new blade. Thanks guys

You can use a fairly thick card scraper, that is what I used in my #112 until I found an iron/blade for it. It does a great job and eliminates a lot of sanding making reference to the tool.
I like to use old tools for my woodworking it seems to make more enjoyable.
You must be the one who bid on the dusty/old #12 earlier this week.

Later,

that was me, it was in good shape and a decent price. Im looking forward to using it. Does it handle any better than a #80?
