No marks on the blade. I was hoping, but nothing. I agree Sears was not consistent with their branding.

Woodworking Forum / Graphite Platen for Belt Sander
« Last post by Model 12 on February 25, 2025, 02:39:02 AM »I'm using these Graphite Platens with my Belt Sanders. I got em overlaying the steel platens. They're from PEC Friction Fighters Corporation. Cutting down friction; reducing heat and wear on the interior of the belt.
They got em for 3" and 4" belt sanders. A PSA Graphite Platen is available for Makita 9903 and 9403. PSA stands for Pressure Sensitive Adhesion. I had to look that up. I'd venture to say they'd be OK for other 3 and 4 Inch models. 1st and second photos were provided by Friction Fighters.
They also offer the Graphite Platen in bulk rolls priced by the yard; 3" and 4" width. You need a Steel Strap Washer; 3rd picture. You can get for a Makita. The one for the 4" 9403 fits my Porter Cable 368; #4 picture.

Is the blade marked? On Stanley shaves, that's often the only indication of the brand.
And Sears may not have been consistent year to year with features like marking the clamping screw.

« Last post by Bill Houghton on February 21, 2025, 09:23:28 AM »And indeed, I have a Dunlap shave that, if memory serves, looks very similar. The loop handles would have saved a bit on the cost of the iron - even back then, value engineering was a thing, even if the term didn't exist.
