Record 0100 Plane Review By: I.Ball
Category: Old Block Planes
Extra Info: What is a Block Plane? Block Plane Videos
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.

"Just stumbled across your website and an absolute treasure trove of information.
I was recently given an old Stanley 110 block plane and wanted to know more about it.
Your website told me everything I needed to know.
But there is so much more to read. I forsee me spending a lot of time just reading
page after page. I can appreciate how much time this will have taken to put together.
I just wanted to let you know that your hard work is appreciated."
