Post: RE: Cute router plane from Aliexpress

They just offered me this router plane for $28.20. They have other router planes also, and all at insanely low prices! It's all I can do not to just start ordering everything!

One can usually go to eBay and purchase an old Delta lathe 1/2" arbor that will screw on to a 1-8 lathe spindle. Where can you purchase such items new, particularly for a 1.25-8 spindle?
