The Faithfull Lever Cap Adjuster Nut & Screws kit is an essential maintenance solution for woodworkers looking to restore or maintain the performance of their Faithfull hand planes. This kit provides critical replacement components, including a blade lever cap, a brass adjuster nut, and a frog screw, which collectively ensure smooth blade depth control and secure component assembly. While these parts are engineered for durability and precise fitment within the Faithfull ecosystem, users should verify their specific plane model's compatibility to ensure seamless installation.

These components are specifically designed for Faithfull planes. While some parts may fit similar designs, compatibility with vintage brands is not guaranteed.
No, a standard flathead or Phillips screwdriver and basic adjustment wrenches are sufficient for installing these components.
Brass is used because it provides a smooth, self-lubricating surface that prevents seizing against steel threads and offers long-term durability.
These parts do not have a set expiration; they should be replaced only when you notice excessive play in the adjustments or if the original parts are stripped or lost.
This product is sold as a service kit containing multiple components to ensure a complete restoration of the plane's adjustment mechanism.
Ensure the threads on the frog are free of debris and apply a small amount of light machine oil to the adjuster nut threads.
Check the lever cap screw tension. If it still slips, ensure the frog is positioned correctly to provide a flush surface for the blade.
To install these parts, first ensure the plane is fully disassembled. Begin by attaching the frog to the plane bed using the provided frog screw, ensuring it is seated perfectly square. When installing the brass adjuster nut, apply a very light coat of high-quality machine oil to the threads to ensure buttery-smooth rotation. After assembly, check that the lever cap locks down with a firm 'snap' feel; if it is too loose, the lever cap may require slight tension adjustments. To maintain these parts, clean off wood resin and sawdust regularly using a soft brush, and store the plane in a dry environment to prevent corrosion of the metal components.
