Record 713 Plane Review By: I.Ball
Category: Old Fillister Planes
Manufacturer: Record
Plane Type: Skew Rebate
Model No: 713
The Record 713 is a skew rebate / rabbet plane especially designed for
creating a fine finish when cutting across the grain, a finish which
will require very little additional work, if any.
The reason for this is due to the angle of the cutter and the cut this makes.
The finish produced by the Record 713 skew rebate / rabbet plane when working
across the grain is better than a rebate / rabbet plane with a squared
edge mouth (if used properly).
The Record 713 and skewed rebate / rabbet planes in general are not
quite as suited to with the grain work as there can be a very slight
tendency for the plane to wonder.
It is for these reasons Record advertised that the skew rabbet planes weren't designed
to replace the squared edged rabbet planes such as the
Record 078
but instead they were designed to complement each other.
The Record 713 consists of the main body, skewed plane cutter, lever cap and a
depth stop.
The 219mm (8 5/8 inch) body is made from high grade cast iron with the sides and sole being made flat
and true.
The 38mm (1 1/2 inch) wide skewed plane blade is held in place with the small
lever cap. The lever cap is secured / released by turning the steel nut at the top
of the lever cap.
The plane was also equipped with an adjustable depth stop. From my observations
these depth stops do seem to have had a particular tendency to not be present with
these planes.
As with all skewed planes, particular attention needs to be taken with the profile
of the plane blade's cutting edge to ensure the best possible cut is made with
the plane.
The Record 713 is finished in the Record blue coloured japanning.
The Record 713 had a relatively short manufacturing period in the 1930's to early
1940's.
The Record 713 is one of only a handful of Record planes not to have a '0' at the
start of the model number.
The Record 713 was the middle sized of three planes in this series. The other two
were the
Record 712
and the
Record 714
planes.

"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."
