Extra Info: What is a Router? Router Videos
Manufacturer: Record
Plane Type: Router
Model No: 071
The Record Router number 071 also referred to as the Record 071 Router
Plane is a two-handled hand tool used for cutting,
cleaning and smoothing grooves / depressed surfaces parallel with the
surface of the work.
The Record 071 is referred to as an open throat router due to the raised
hollow arch at the front of the router.
The router can be used with a closed throat by leaving the depth stop
and shoe in position, with the face of the shoe flush with the base
of the router. The router can be used as an open mouth by removing the
depth stop and shoe.
The 071 Router was supplied with three cutters as standard: 1/4", 1/2" and a splayed smoothing cutter.
The blades on the router can be set facing to the front for regular
work or they can be set towards the rear for bull-nose work. The
blades can be set to rear facing by removing the collar clamp and turning
around. The cutters can also be adjusted upwards and downwards to the
required depth.
The Record 071 is virtually the same as the
Stanley 71 Router.
The main obvious distinguishing differences being the Record 071 is finished in
a dark blue colour and the markings are different.
In recent times Veritas Tools have introduced a router plane which is similar
to the Record 071 Router Plane and Stanley 71 Router Plane, see the
Veritas Router Plane Review.
A Record no. 071 router fence is designed to guide the router cutter along the piece of wood at a set distance; keeping the cutter at an equal distance from the fence provides a constant straight cut or groove.

"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."
