Stanley 75 Plane Review By: I.Ball
Category: Old Bullnose Planes
Extra Info: What is a Bullnose Plane? Bullnose Plane Videos
Manufacturer: Stanley
Plane Type: Bullnose
Model No: 75
The Stanley 75 bullnose plane is a basic, useful, little budget plane
for users who need a bullnose plane now-and-then.
The Stanley number 75 is a small two-piece bullnose rebate plane consisting
of an upper black coloured piece and a lower steel piece.
The bottom
half of the lower section is exposed natural steel, the top half of
the lower section has the black Stanley finish.
The plane is designed with it's blade positioned very close to the end
of the plane with only a short sole in front of the blade's cutting edge.
This allows the plane to be used almost all of the way into a corner.
The mouth's opening can be adjusted by loosening the large screw at the
top of the plane, located just behind the top part of the blade.
This screw is also used to adjust the depth of the cut by hand.
The setting of the mouth and the blade
is done manually without the use of fine adjustment mechanism's.
Record made an identical model no. 075 bullnose plane which we find is
more popular / collectable and is a little harder to find than the Stanley model.
The blade on the Record model is also slightly thicker than the Stanley blade.
Edward Preston also briefly made an almost identical model of this plane.
The Stanley 75 bull-nose plane is almost identical to the
Edward Preston 75 plane
and the
Record 075 plane,
the only real difference being the colour and the markings.
This Stanley number 75 bullnose plane is used for small awkward jobs which arise during cabinet making and similar work, it is designed for trimming in tight spaces up to stopped ends, joints and in to corners.

"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."
