Unboxing and tuning a vintage Record smoothing hand plane (# 4)
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
I stumbled upon this vintage Record hand plane at a local hardware store, as these original Record hand planes are no longer in production today I thought it will be interesting to add it to my hand tools collection but not after tunning it up to get it ready for use.
Some of the good tools I am using:
T-Bevel square: amzn.to/3azunrK
Mini square: amzn.to/3BGTnJu
Marking knife: amzn.to/3FGfZw9
Japanese clamps: amzn.to/3lAVI32
Japanese saw: amzn.to/3oYjhF7
Ripping Sawblade: amzn.to/3BCNZXZ
Multipurpose Sawblade: amzn.to/3FLp6vu
Clamps: amzn.to/3BFLWSO
My Wood threading jig: amzn.to/2X5XCzg
My Main chisel set: amzn.to/3FFGvpv
Sharpening stone: amzn.to/3aO2Djv
My video recording gear:
Main lens: amzn.to/3FKO4eL
Tripod: https: amzn.to/3DGRtcH

Thank you man
I bought an identical one, can you tell me until what year it was manufactured? I would like to find more information about the history of Record, but I couldn't find it.
Is that a very thick block of aluminum that you're using as a surface plate? Still haven't lapped my plane soles because I don't have a good surface, though perhaps some MDF would be good enough. Liking your videos: good length and precise work!

Yes that’s a flattened aluminum block, you can use a float glass better than the MDF as it won’t deform when it gets wet. Thank you for watching and for commenting 👍
Good work!! Looks very much like a Stanley bailey.... What are your thoughts on Japanese kanna planes?? Thanks in advance..👍🏻🎩

True, Record and Stanley are the same, Japanese Kannas are great hand planes, I have 2 of them, I will make an episode about them in future. Thank you for your comment 👍

@@TheWoodCrafter1 While the basic design is the same between Stanley and Record, the Record planes are bit more stout. I have several, and all the castings are heavier than the Stanley planes I've observed.

When you flatten the sole of the plane you *need* to have the blade and chip breaker fitted (with the blade retracted obviously!) as this tension mount subtly bends the plane body when it's in place. I learnt this one the hard way by dilligently grinding a Stanley no. 5 perfectly flat and then finding that what I had actually achieved was to grind a lovely arch into the sole :(

Nice fettling, but a sad reflection on a once highly respected tool manufacturer to send out tools that are “not up to the job”

Hi there, This is the original Record smoothing plane made in England, where you can buy depends where you are situated? If you are in Jordan I can tell where otherwise it is hard to find brand new ones.

This looks like made in china. Have you seen the real vintage one? Very different from this copy cat. Nice work though.

This is made in England no mistake about it, but it seems that this one is from the last production batches.
