Our Hex Socket Replacement Screws: Lie Nielsen set, upgrades the five adjustment screws on your Lie Nielsen bevel down bench planes, giving you significantly better control versus the factory supplied slotted screws.

Our Hex Socket screw set replaces the following five factory screws: lever cap screw, chip-breaker screw, 2 x frog retaining pin screws (bedrock style), and the frog adjustment screw.

Each screw has a 3/16 inch hex socket head so that all our plane adjustment screws can be adjusted using the same size hex driver.

The underside of the lever cap screw is countersunk so that it "grips" the lever cap when pressure is applied preventing slippage, just like the factory supplied lever cap screw.

See our Hex Drive Adjustment Drivers for use with these screws.

Innovative Improvement!

Small change with big results! My only wish, and I believe it would be a welcome upgrade, would be to produce the steel screws in stainless, for those of us in especially humid environments. This is the one way the original LN screws are still superior.

A screw is a screw is a screw except . . .

. . . when it isn’t. And by this I mean the tool one uses to fasten the screw to whatever application desired whether it is two pieces of wood, or machined parts to one another. Simply put these hex-head fastens are superior to slotted or Phillips-head screws. It doesn’t mean hex-heads are more secure. It means loosening and tightening is more secure an operation. And like every other tool I’ve purchased from Mr. Cosman, they are well designed, are truly “bolt on” and a superior value. And I end like I have every other review; the purchasing and shipping are exemplary. I recommend these hex-head replacement screws as a simple but significant upgrade.

Excellent Upgrade

These are a simple upgrade for your planes that make a significant difference.

Plane irons require regular resharpening, often several times a day.

The ability to quickly break down your plane and adjust it to get back to work saves time and makes the process easier and more enjoyable.
