Review By: I.Ball
Category: Old Bullnose Planes
Manufacturer: Record
Plane Type: Bullnose, Rabbet / Rebate
Model No: 075
Verdict: "A basic but useful little bullnose plane for its budget price. The blade adjustment
on the Record no. 075 is made by hand. The 075 plane can get in close to corners
and has an adjustable mouth."
The Record 075 plane is a small 10cm long, two-piece bullnose rebate
plane.
The plane is made-up of an upper blue coloured section and a lower
cast iron section. The bottom
half of the lower section is exposed natural steel, the top half of
the lower section has the blue Record japanned finish.
The front of the 075 plane has a curved nose with a window to the cutting
area.
The plane is designed with it's blade positioned very close to the end
of the plane with only a short sole in front of the blade's cutting edge.
This allows the plane to be used almost all of the way into a corner.
The plane blade's cutting edge spans the full width of the plane with
the bevel edge side facing upwards.
The mouth's opening can be adjusted by loosening the large screw at the
top of the plane, located just behind the top part of the blade.
This screw is also used to adjust the depth of the cut by hand.
The setting of this Record bullnose plane's mouth and the blade
is done manually without the use of fine adjustment mechanisms.
The Record 075 bull-nose plane is almost identical to the
Edward Preston 75 plane
and the
Stanley 75 plane,
the only real difference being
the colour and the markings.
