Thanks for another video. That 48, a welcomed gift indeed. I’ve often wondered if the thicker portion above the tongue that goes up is offset because it limits splits or because it allows floorboards to be refinished over time? Having the two functions in the one plane goes back before the Stanley 48. I use an old wooden body tongue and groove plane that’s amusingly called a ‘coming and going’ - with the single cutter for groove facing one way and the double cutter for the tongue going the other. Just flip the whole plane around, works great!
I should have mentioned that I had put them in an earlier video. The offset may well be for the purpose of allowing more meat in one side to give extra standings over time.
I love all planes. But these are some of my favorite specialty planes. Like you said, set it and forget it. They’re so much easier and more practical than using a 45. Another great video.
Thanks for another excellent video featuring Stanley planes. I like the 48. Would like to see you do a video showcasing the Stanley scraper planes. I think these plane don't get enough attention.
I have the 49 and have used it on a 2in board. What I did was make tung and grooves on both sides and it worked just fine. Just something to think about.
por favor, não suprima a segunda ponta de corte..ela te fará economizar muito tempo...se voce tem medo de machucar-se, faça uma cobertura com plastico...tampa de garrafa de coca-cola serve...use um assoprador de ar quente e sua imaginação....abraços....
I'd say they the groves are off center like that so when making tongue and grove flooring, you put the thicker side up, so when you take a floor plane (No 74) you have more wood, before getting to the center tongue. Just my guess.
I have had others say that but I can’t imagine these being used for flooring unless it’s a very small floor. Also the smaller side is to the matched finished side.

A little research just revealed that Stanley did a 148 reversible combination tongue and groove plane, like my wooden body one.

Another great video.
Totally agree!
Such a simple but effective design.
I have wooden tongue and groove planes but now I want to get a Stanley 48, enjoyed your video.
Thank you for watching and your comments.

I’ll keep that in mind. A good idea. Thanks.

That’s a great idea as long as all boards have been properly thicknessed to the same size.

Thanks for sharing , I have the 48 and love it 😊.
Thanks for watching. I appreciate it.
i just acquired one of the #48s, looks very useful instead of setting up a combo plane
