Evaporust will be the ticket if you didnt like citric. If rust gets under the jappaning youll get some flaking no matter what you use though. I suspect that was the problem with the CA. Nice find! -- Its not a crack, its a casting imperfection. |

That is an old puppy. Go lightly no matter what you use. |

I’m a fan of evaporust. Just run it (less the wood) through the dishwasher, the soak in Evapo-Rust. Go easy on wire brushing. Try plastic brush, then brass, steel only as last resort. It looks like not much meat on the blade, so surely don’t use a power grinder. -Paul -- I intended to be a woodworker, but turned into a tool and lumber collector. |

Thanks for the responses, I figured out the type study by the way, it is earlier than I thought. It is a type 6, which dates it to 1888-1892. -- Benjamin, Milwaukee |

OH YES I just got one too type 9. , also consider through the years people could have bought different parts for repair so only the body casting is time telling. look here -- MARK IN BOB, So. CAL |

If you’re going to be using the plane to, you know, actually plane wood, who gives a damn about the patina? Evapo-Rust is what I use. It works great. Electrolysis on very large things that I can’t easily submerge in Evapo-Rust. In this case, Evapo-Rust is the ticket. Pick up a gallon at Harbor Freight with the 25% off coupon today and you’ll be out the door for less than $20. |

Marn64, Paul Sellers’ video on restoring a bench plane might be worth a look… |

Spot on with the evaporust, and a softer brush.
