Manufacturer: Record
Plane Type: Smoothing
Model No: 04 1/2 C
The Record smoothing plane number 04 1/2C is identical to the
Record 04 1/2 plane
with the
difference being the sole of the 04 1/2 C is corrugated; a series of parallel
grooves running the length of the sole.
This type of sole is referred to as a corrugated sole. The 'C' in the
model number '4 1/2 C' stands for 'corrugated'.
The idea behind the corrugated plane is the sole has less friction when
planing, particularly as the board becomes true. The smoothness of the
planing can be improved further by lubricating the sole with oil/wax etc.
