Record 0100 Plane Review By: I.Ball

Manufacturer: Record

Plane Type: Block

Model No: 0100


           

The Record block plane number 0100 is a miniature plane with a flat sole and a curved metal handle at the rear of the plane; this handle is likened to an animal's tail so this type of plane is often called a tailed plane or more specifically a squirrel plane.

The plane has no fine blade adjustment mechanism so is labelled as non-adjustable. The blade is manually placed in position and then held in place using a small lever cap which is locked in place with a knurled screw.

This plane is also often referred to as a model makers plane, violin makers plane or a pattern makers plane as these were the core trades which used this type of plane.



The Record 0100 only had a short production period in the late 1930's to early 1940's. Although the plane is advertised in tool catalogues from 1938-1943, the main actual production of these planes probably only took place for a few years before World War II restrictions on materials began and social effects began. The Record 0100 and the other Record model makers plane, the 0100 1/2, had one of the shortest production periods of all the Record plane ranges.
