Category: Old Bullnose Planes
Manufacturer: Record
Plane Type: Bullnose, Rabbet / Rebate
Model No: 076
The Record 076 plane is a small 4 inch long bull-nose plane from the
Record tools range.
The 076 plane has a one-piece cast iron body construction with a blue japanned
top and lever cap. The sides and sole are machined flat and true with
a polished finish.
The front of the plane has a curved nose with a window to the cutting
area.
The plane has a 29mm (1 1/8 inch) wide shouldered cutter which sits
on a low angle bed.
The plane blade is positioned with the bevel-side of the blade facing
upwards.
The blade is adjusted by loosening the lever cap and
adjusting the blade by hand (there is no fine adjustment mechanism).
The lever cap is secured by turning the knurled wheel nut underneath
the top portion of the lever cap.
The Record 076 bull-nose plane can be used to reach close into corners including
being used left or right handed. The plane can be laid perfectly
flat and used on either of its sides to trim rebates.
