Model No: 078
The Record 078 fillister plane has been and still is a popular hand
plane for adjusting and forming rebates particularly on window frames,
door frames and various joints.
This Record 078 plane review is about the old Record 078 plane not the
more recent Irwin Record duplex plane.
The plane has a single cutter with two separate blade beds; one at the
front end of the plane for bullnose work and the other in the middle
for more regular work.
The middle bed has a lever adjuster for changing the depth of cut.
The Record 078 plane is equipped with a detachable single arm side
fence.
The fence allows the plane to be guided along a piece of wood to give
an even cut from the edge of the work.
The fence size can be enlarged by attaching a piece of timber to it.
The fence can be positioned either side of the plane.
The Record 078 has a single
spur
to score the piece of wood you are
planing making the plane easier and more efficient to use.
The 078 also has a depth stop to allow the user to plane to a depth
set by the user.
The Record 078 is also referred to as the Record duplex plane.
The Record duplex 078 plane is heavily based upon the
Stanley 78 plane.
The two planes are almost identical in appearance other than the 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."
