My jointer planes chip breaker is a bit of a mess. Its got a bit of a chunk out of it on the right side where it meets the blade. I didn't think it would be a big deal, but the more I've used it, the more its causing problems. I've had moderate success cleaning it up, but I'm now sick of dealing with it. I decided to surf around and see if anyone makes replacement chip breakers. Low and behold some people do. LN and Hock. I decided to ping LV about the Hock chip breaker. Here is the dialogue (names clipped of course).
Me:
know you sell the Hock replacement plane blades, any chance you'll be selling the new Hock chip breakers for bailey style planes? It seems to me like it would nicely compliment your line up of after market plane irons.
LV:
We have just recently obtained some of the Hock Chip Breakers to keep on hand as a service to customers that ask about them, but they are not advertised, nor are they in our retail stores.
Lee Valley Description HOCK #
19P2014 1-3/4" wide (#3) #BK175
19P2015 2" wide (#4 & #5) #BK200
19P2016 2-3/8" wide (#6 & #7 #BK238
19P2017 2-5/8" wide (#8) #BK262
If you would let me know which product number you are interested in, and where you are located, I can then provide you the appropriate price for it.
Me:
neat!
I'm interested in 19P2016, And I'm located in Ottawa(Postal Code ######). If I bought one, would it be shipped to me, or would I be able to pick it up at the store?
LV:
The price would be $24.95. All prices are quoted in Canadian funds and do not include shipping and handling fees, or applicable taxes.
Your choice for delivery. When you place your order you can ask for store delivery and save the shipping charge; however, it will cost you the gas. But, the side benefits are that you do get to browse the store. JJJJ
You can place your order by phone at 1-800-267-8767, or by fax at 1-800-668-1807 or by mail at P.O. Box 6295, Stn. J, Ottawa, ON, K2A 1T4.
I decided to order one and try it out. It comes to like $29 so its not a major investment. It might even be in tonight....
