Yes the adjusters are for smoothing planes. I always keep a few in stock. But I don’t sell them.

many adjusters in the photo ,would these all be for smoothing planes ? Or maybe components for future commissions? Quite a site to see them standing in line ,maybe a new form of Art.

This is just a basic ball turning principle. These would usually be user made as there doesn’t seem to anything on the commercial market. I am curious to know what other ways there are of doing it.

If you are familiar with the Norris adjuster you will know that the 5/16″ spigot on the underside of the nut, which everything rotates, on is passed through the hole in the base plate and peined over to retain it. The washer is also pressed on to the underside over this spigot prior to peining to act as a collar . It is important that this collar should fit as tight as possible.

I am going to insert another photo into this posting so you can see the underside.

A most ingenius way to cut a radius on the banjo. I haven’t seen that way before. Just goes to show there are a lot of different ways of getting the job done.

What part does the washer(?), the item adjacent to the two screws anyway, fit into the whole adjuster? Or maybe what is its function?

Thank you
Scott
