Record 0-44c router with cutter folder

Still with its original box,the tool folder looks like new.I like this tool,its easy to set,fits the hand well,its plastic handle brings it into the days when traditional tools were being upgraded and wood as handles were being changed to plastics.

Dated back to the early sixties I would think,this tool is near in as new condition,its a very handy tool when smaller jobs need doing and setting up the shop electric router will take you more time,in todays world,its also a 'green' tool!

Record Plough Plane No. 044C No. 050C and No. 045C

The plough plane No. 045C was introduced October 1982. It was of similar design to the No. 044C and No. 050C which both preceded it. It was sold as a basic plough plane with only one cutter of 4mm width provided. If purchasers needed other widths of cutters these could be obtained up to ½" wide either individually or as a walleted set of 9. To allow the plane to undertake the work of a combination plough plane a conversion kit was offered. The No. K050C permitted a further 8 cutters to be used. These extra cutters consisted of 2 plough, 5 beading, and 1 tonguing cutter. These cutters could also be obtained individually or as a set in a plastic wallet. This arrangement allowed purchasers to build up a set of cutters which were best suited to their needs. The plane survived until 1995.

This info came from this web site to which I say many thanks.
