Record 080 Scraper Review By: I.Ball
Category: Old Cabinet Scrapers
Manufacturer: Record
Tool Type: Hand Scraper / Cabinet Scraper
Model No: 080
The Record scraper number 080 also known as the Record hand scraper
or Record cabinet scraper.
The Record 080 scraper is of a long running design with two raised
arched handles, stout sole, and Record blue finish.
The arched handles are domed for comfort with hollowed undersides for
grip.
Each handle has a circular hole cut towards the end which is used for
hanging the tool from a hook in the workshop. These scrapers are often
found with a loop of string through the hole to assist with hanging
the tool.
The cabinet scraper is an essential part of joiners and cabinet makers
tool kit and is used to scrape a surface of work to a smooth even finish
leaving very little need of sanding the piece of work.
The scraper blade is locked in place at the rear of the scraper using
the two nuts.
The cutter edge of the blade should be set to an angle of around 45 degrees.
To make the blade work more efficiently the adjuster thumb screw can be
tightened on the front centre section of the scraper to bow and tension
the blade.
The Record no. 080 scraper has a fixed blade pitch opposed to some of
the adjustable scraper planes available such as the
Stanley 112 Scraper Plane.
The Record 080 scrapers can be seen in different shades of blue. The later 080's
were a paler blue and presented in a blue and white box.
The earlier Record 080
scrapers were a darker blue and presented in a plain blue box with an orange/yellow
label.
The Record 080 cabinet scrapers were provided with a 'how to use' booklet / leaflet.
The Record 080 scrapers were manufactured in Sheffield, England by C & J Hampton
Ltd., and later by Ridgway Tools.
The Record 080 scraper is almost identical to the
Stanley 80 Scraper
other than colour and markings.

"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."
