Record 06SS Plane Review By: I.Ball

Category: Old Fore Planes

Manufacturer: Record

Plane Type: Fore

Model No: 06SS


           

The Record fore plane number 06SS (Stay Set) is identical to the Record 06 plane with the exception of the cap iron design and the lever cap markings.

The "SS" part of the model name stands for "Stay Set".

The Record "Stay Set" cap iron was a two-piece cap iron which consisted of an upper piece and a lower piece (deflector).

The main advantage of the SS cap iron is that the lower piece can be quickly and easily removed/replaced without the need to remove/replace the whole cap iron.

As such the blade can be sharpened/re-ground with only the very occasional need to reposition the upper part slightly. Overall this is a great time saver.

The Record SS planes were sold with a lever cap marked 'SS'.

The SS cap iron was advertised as being 'chatter proof guaranteed'. Record pointed out this was due to the additional third pressure point which the common one-piece cap irons didn't have.

When buying a secondhand Record 06 SS plane, it is well worth checking the two piece cap iron is present below the SS lever cap as from experience, not checking this can lead to disappointment.

"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."
