   Looks like the right depth stop from photos I've seen. Any leads on the fence?

   Do you want to sell one?

   Let me know.

   Thanks!

   Both Stanley and Highlandwoodworking.com sell the fence and depth stop for the Stanley 78, a similar plane.

   Patrick Leach says that #278s are often repaired with fences from #78s, which reduces their value. He has a photo comparing the two fences at http://www.supertool.com/StanleyBG/stan10.htm#num78.

   You can find the Stanley catalog and order form by Googling "Stanley repair parts catalog".

   Highland includes the #78 depth stop in a kit with part number 171913, $19.

   They include the #78 fence in kit 171914, $11.

   Stanley sells either of these kits for $10 + $5 shipping.

   Hi Eric,

   Thanks for your reply. I've seen the web site, abd the differences in parts. I was also aware of the Highland kits. But, I'd like to find the one parts for the 278.

   Thanks!
