Stanley Gage planes hold a special place in the history of woodworking tools, celebrated for their innovative design and enduring quality. Originally developed by the Gage Tool Company in the late 19th century, these planes were revolutionary for their time, featuring a patented self-setting mechanism that simplified adjustments and enhanced precision. The Gage Tool Company, founded by John Gage and his son in Vineland, New Jersey, introduced these planes to the market in the 1880s, emphasizing their superior craftsmanship and functionality.
In 1919, the Stanley Rule & Level Company acquired the Gage Tool Company, incorporating the self-setting planes into their product line under the “Stanley Gage” trademark. Stanley refined the design, producing both wooden and metal versions of the planes. These tools became highly regarded for their ease of use and reliability, making them a favorite among carpenters and woodworkers.
The production of Stanley Gage planes continued until the early 1940s, leaving behind a legacy of innovation and quality. Today, these planes are cherished by collectors and woodworking enthusiasts, not only for their historical significance but also for their practical utility in the workshop.
