An in-depth look at the different “types” of Stanley No71 router planes. Includes a brief overview of the Stanley No71 1/2, the Millers Falls No67, and Sargent’s No62
Nice rundown Michael. I bought a Stanley type 1 a while back thinking it was an original Cope patent plane. Henry Cope patented the plane in January of 1884 and sold it to Stanley that same year. Needless to say, there aren't too many in existence. Cope's original model had a different collar to hold the iron. He redesigned it shortly thereafter to the style Stanley ended up using. The only other difference with Cope's router was that it was scaled down being reasonably smaller than Stanley's version.
I restored a no.71 last year and it’s made in England, however, the finish is closer to the type 14 (stand in) and it has beechwood knobs with silver (colour) barrel nuts (including the fence and foot). I have another (very similar looking unit) arriving today in the post (without any attachments), which I got for a good deal on. It has markings under bridge where foot mounts: an X and the number 20. I only have a 1/4” cutter but fortunately Veratis cutters will fit. Little rust spots return to the checkered area even though its stored well and my other vintage tools not affected. I considering to wipe gun metal blue on the main body when restoring new arrival. All my tools are regularly used and have been tuned for my woodworking needs. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, much appreciated, as that book is insanely expensive 😁
Ha, thanks for the shout-out and the guest appearance of my type 6. Great video again. We need to hit some more estate sales soon. By the way, ever see anyone reverse the iron in the router? Is it meant to do that? The 'post' that holds the iron seems completely reversible.

Love to see a 71 1/2 type study
The "Wayward Routers " was the name of my first Jr. High School garage band . Nice video my friend and very informative 👍
Loved your vid. Great info. Thanks so much. I'm on the hunt to find a 15 at a good price
Awesome video!
Very cool video, MJ! I sure love mine!
thanks for another great video michael, it would seem that my #71 is type 8 and nicely complete.

Another great video, turns out I have a type 15. I find the open throat design handy when doing blind groves. They are a joy to use 🍻
Great information !!
