Modern Bench Plane Replacement Blades - CPM MagnaCut

I needed a replacement iron for a 4 1/2 Taylor tool works plane that I found in the trash. The iron was missing. I decided to purchase the Lake Erie Toolworks iron because Reed Planes is using one in the plane being made for me. The iron arrived the other day and fits the Taylor plane. The iron is a solid piece of steel and is ready for final honing. It will be a while before I use it as I need to mate the Taylor cap iron with the Erie iron.

These blades are space age! I mean, NO JOKE! Maybe slightly more work to sharpen, but the results are out of this world.

Very nice iron
