Record 0113 Plane Review By: I.Ball

Extra Info: What is a Compass Plane? Compass Plane Videos
Manufacturer: Record
Plane Type: Compass
Model No: 0113
The Record 0113 compass plane otherwise known as the Record 0113 circular
plane is a 10 inch long metal plane with an adjustable flexible sole.
The plane is used for planing timber which has a curve such as the edge
of a round table.
The flexible sole can be adjusted to form a convex sole or a concave
sole, set to the required curvature.
The flexible sole is anchored with the frame at either end of the sole
with a screw adjustment in the center.
The sole is adjusted by turning the knurled sole adjustment wheel nut;
located on the top of the plane towards the front.
The 0113 has graduated toothed plates on one side of the plane. These
graduations can be used to assist in setting the desired radii.
Once the sole has been adjusted to form the desired curvature, the
adjustment wheel nut is locked by securing the small locking screw just
under the adjustment wheel nut (different to the Record 020 / 020C).
Similarly the small locking screw should
be loosened before turning the adjustment wheel nut.
The frame shape and front metal knob provides handy grips to handle and
control the plane with ease.
The Record 0113 is fitted with the same plane blade, cap iron and lever
cap as the number 03 bench planes. This makes finding a replacement piece
a lot easier to find.
The plane blade and cap iron are locked in position with the lever cap.
This helps to reduce chattering. The lever cap has a plated finish which
is usually a nickel plating. The lever cap has a pear shaped hole in
the middle in which a screw runs through, the shape helps prevent the
cap loosening.
Also, as with the standard bench planes such as the 03, the 0113 compass plane has a
lateral blade adjusting lever located just behind the blade. This lever
pivots side-to-side which in turn adjusts the cutter side-ways
(note: the lever cap must be released when making these alterations).

including the

"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."
