I bought a Stanley 9 1/2 block plane on ebay. What a mistake. The Lever Cap screw is to short and only catches by about a half turn of the threads and even then, I can't move the lever into the set position. I think what I need is a slightly longer screw to get over this problem. Does anyone know where a person can find a lever cap screw that is a little longer?
Thanks in Advance, djs

Or this guy in Katy, Texas.
First make sure the iron and adjuster are seated properly, then afterall, its only a screw, get a longer one.

Her extension # is (or has been maybe) 54107, so you don't run into "that guy from Poland" ... lol, you don't want that at all.
Oops, I had that, but forgot to include it. Excuse me while I go beat my head against the wall. Joe
Stop when it hurts, however long it takes bro... Lori was really cool to me one time, she sent me a new box of hand plane parts for free. that was alright.
Thanks for all the info. I called earlier today after I read Joe Gorman's post and she is sending me a new screw. Very Nice. djs
