The Record smoothing plane number 02C is a smoothing plane which
is the smallest of the Record smoothing planes at 7 1/4 inch (18.4cm)

The 02C model is identical to the

The plane is constructed from high grade cast iron with a crucible cast

The Record 02C plane was produced for a period of 10 years through the
