New guy here- Skill 100 Planer - need the shoe stud 10608 measurements

General Discussion

Hi there and thanks for looking.
I’m not a surfboard maker but I am wanting to use a Skill 100 long plane that is missing the 10608 “stud” that locates the shoe with the indexing clicker. If someone has one for sale or can provide detailed measurements I could machine my own. There’s no ID tag on mine, I’m also curious what amp it’s rated. Any help appreciated.

The set screw is a 1/4-20 UNC thread if that helps.

I got a 1/4-20 set screw, chucked it in a drill press, and filed it down until it fit.

Thank you, I can get a rough dimension from your photo based on the thread profile!

It would be nice if this screw was made to spec by those selling after market Skil 100 shoes.

Looks like a 5 amp Type 3. If you are going to use it to plane wood stock; an original stock fence would be beneficial. I got my first Skil off a carpenter who did interior finish . Stairs, rails, doors etc. He lamented that it was not that great for the finish work he did. Use a little “lockset” on that screw when you put it in. They have been known to back off and fall out onto the floor of a shaping bay and be lost in the foam dust and shavings.
