Description: |
| The Millers Falls No. 1220 Plane-R-File. The idea of a replaceable-bladed rasp was not new to the Plane-R-File as similar products had existed in Britain for several years. The inventive feature lay in the rotating handle, blade locking mechanism, flanged frame to support the blade and outstanding aesthetics (design patent D182027 covered the outstanding appearance).
"For the invention of the 'Plane-R-File' abrading tool- I was said to receive one dollar and other considerations. This tool was not too successful as having lost the original blade to Stanley, Millers introduced the tool with an inferior blade. When it was time to reorder, a prohibitive price for the blade was asked. Stanley, Stanley of England and others wasted no time in copying the tool, and it proved very successful. Originally Stanley brought out two tools, a plane type and a file type. My invention combined the two, hence the name "Plane-R-File." (Courtesy of Randy Roeder)
