Replacement Blade for Stanley Plane 19-142 Zeluga – 3/16″ Carbon Steel

Description

Product Overview

The Zeluga 19-142 replacement blade is engineered specifically for Stanley Jack Plane models 12-137 and 1-12-137, delivering a perfect fit and seamless integration with the existing plane body. Crafted from premium high carbon steel, the blade measures a robust 3/16″ (approximately 4.8 mm) thickness, providing exceptional rigidity and edge retention even under demanding woodworking conditions. The traditional 25-degree bevel angle is calibrated to produce clean, fine shavings, reducing tear-out and ensuring a smooth finish on a variety of hardwoods and softwoods. Weighing only 0.19 kg (6.7 oz) and packaged in a compact 4.84 × 2.72 × 0.43 in box, the blade is lightweight yet durable, making it easy to handle, install, and store. The black finish not only adds a professional aesthetic but also offers corrosion resistance, extending the blade’s service life. Designed for hand‑powered operation, this blade requires no batteries or additional power sources, aligning with the classic craftsmanship of hand planes while incorporating modern material technology for superior performance.

Usage

Woodworkers, carpenters, and hobbyist craftsmen will find the Zeluga replacement blade indispensable for a wide range of tasks, from fine furniture detailing to larger scale timber preparation. Its high carbon steel composition allows it to maintain a sharp edge longer than standard carbon steel alternatives, making it ideal for repetitive planing of dense hardwoods such as oak, maple, and walnut, as well as softer species like pine and cedar. The blade’s 3/16″ thickness provides the necessary stiffness to resist flexing during aggressive material removal, while the 25-degree bevel ensures a balanced cut that minimizes vibration and user fatigue. Whether you are restoring antique furniture, shaping joinery, or performing routine maintenance on your hand plane, this blade delivers consistent results. Its compatibility with both the 12-137 and 1-12-137 models means you can replace worn blades without needing to purchase a new plane, offering cost‑effective longevity for your tool collection.
