This guide is for woodworkers using the Stanley Bench Plane Iron (0-12-313), offering a high-quality replacement cutter for achieving a razor-sharp finish. The key benefit is excellent edge retention thanks to the chrome carbon steel. However, proper honing is required before use for optimal performance.

Sharpen the plane iron as needed, typically when it begins to drag or doesn't cut cleanly. The frequency depends on use and wood type.
The plane iron is ground to 25 degrees, so maintain this angle during honing to achieve optimal performance.
Use a light machine oil or a specialized tool oil to prevent rust.
It is designed for Stanley bench planes. Compatibility with other brands is not guaranteed. Measure your existing iron to confirm the size.
Loosen the lever cap and remove the chip breaker. Then, carefully slide the plane iron out of the plane body.
MPN stands for Manufacturer Part Number. It's a unique identifier for the product, in this case, 0-12-313.
Hone the iron to ensure a razor-sharp edge. Check the iron's projection from the plane's sole, and adjust if needed.
Ensure the iron is sharp. Adjust the iron's projection and the plane's angle of attack to minimize tear-out, especially when planing against the grain.
Clean off rust with a fine abrasive and apply a protective oil coating. Store the plane iron in a dry environment.
