Vintage Record No.04 Plane (Repainted)
Standard Bench Smoother | Original Tungsten Steel Iron & Fresh Finish
The Record No.04 stands as the ultimate general-purpose plane for any woodworking bench. Designed to tackle everyday flattening and fine finishing, it provides ideal balance and weight for general timber preparation.
This English-made example features a freshly repainted blue body paired with its original Record irons and hardwood tote. Record planes are loved for their solid build and excellent tungsten steel irons.
Key Features:
Standard No.04 Size: Features a 9 3/4-inch body length and a 2-inch cutter width for versatile, everyday smoothing work.
Original Record Tungsten Cutter: Includes a genuine Sheffield Best Crucible Cast Tungsten Steel iron with matching cap iron.
Hardwood Tote and Knob: Fitted with original hardwood handles that remain comfortable and sturdy during use.
Repainted Casting: The main cast-iron body has received a coat of fresh blue enamel paint to prevent corrosion and restore its look.
Condition Note:
A previous owner repainted the cast body well. However, the mechanical components remain completely intact. The sole is flat and clean, while the brass depth adjuster and lateral lever operate smoothly.
In short, this refreshed classic offers a fantastic, honest user tool that’s bench ready.
