PARTS & SIZES
GENERAL SPECIFICATION
Record Planes are made in a comprehensive range of patterns and sizes suitable for all purposes. They embody many notable improvements and are produced throughout with the greatest care and accuracy, which constitute guarantee of unsurpassed quality.
An outstanding feature in all Record Planes is the TUNGSTEN STEEL Cutting Iron, which is the outcome of extensive research and test which have been made with the object of producing a Steel which will retain its fine cutting-edge considerably longer than the Steel Cutters usually supplied in Planes.
This new Cutting Iron is hardened and tempered under scientific control, which ensures accuracy and uniformity. It is precision-ground all over, and is tested and guaranteed to be the right temper.
The Lever Cap and all the small screws and parts are nickel-plated.
The Handle and Knob are made of genuine Rosewood, which is carefully selected for its beautiful colour and grain.
The Body is finished cellulose blue, and the base and sides are machine-ground and polished.
All parts are interchangable, and Spare Irons and other parts can be supplied.
CONSTRUCTION.
The Body is made of high-grade Cast Iron of guaranteed strength, and is ribbed where necessary to ensure rigidity.
The illustration shows how the machined faces of the Frog bed firmly on to similar machined faces on the Body and are securely fastened in position by the two Frog Screws, which in effect makes the Frog solid with the Body and prevents chattering.
The Iron Cut Adjustment is accuratley made to give very fine adjustment for cutting.
The Lateral Adjusting Lever is fitted with a turned Steel Roller for smooth working.
The genuine Rosewood Handle and Knob are fastened to the Body by Steel Studs with Brass Cap Nuts.
ADJUSTMENT.
- The Cap Iron is, of course, adjustable on the Cutting Iron to give correct settings for fine or coarse cutting.
-
The width of the effective mouth , i.e., the distance from the Cutting Edge of the Iron to the forward edge of the mouth, can be regulated as required for fine or coarse cutting by loosening the two Frog Screws A (see sketch) and turning the Adjusting Screw B until the correct setting is obtained, and afterwards tightening the two Frog Screws A.
-
The Cutting Edge of the Iron can be adjusted parallel to the base of the Body by the Lateral Adjusting Lever C.
- The depth of cut is adjusted by the Brass Nut D.
GRINDING.
The correct angle for grinding the Bevel on Record Plane Irons is 25°, and a line gauge for this purpose is stamped on the Cap Iron and should be used as shown on right:-
