Ha! For this one I thought I'd go the Terry Farrell route and use West
System 2 part. :-)

I'm a little stumped, as the break is pretty jagged and recessed, not very
accessible. Nothing to grab ahold of vise grip wise. 

Yep, several others on this pinaner have been changed which makes for an
interesting string plane.

And...??? The CA didn't work? <G>

Yea, that is a weird place for a break, rather than the shank. The short 
replacement is going to look funny too. Bummer. What's the shank size 
and thread?
