Replacement Iron for an old Miller Falls #9B (self.woodworking)

Hello,

I found a used Miller Falls #9B for a good price. However, the iron is really used.

The tip of the blade is almost all the way to the screw hole on the iron.

I am a beginner woodworker and I am not sure where to find a replacement iron for this plane.

It seems like Millers Falls part are out of make (or i might be wrong).

So where can i find a replacement iron?

Thanks

I think you'll be able to judge if it would work. This iron will be a tad thicker but that's not a problem.

Thanks for the replies, it is appreciated. I will go to the lee valley tools near me and buy a replacement iron.

How handy is that? You can just bring along the old one to make sure the slots will agree.
