Record Plough Plane No. 043
The No. 043 plough plane was originally a plane with a single arm fence when it first appeared in early 1935. It was soon modified to a double arm bridged fence and a wider flared palm rest. It may have been modified to permit the introduction of the No. 040 plough in November 1935 at a lower price. The flat depth stop and fence arm thumb screws were changed to a round screw with a knurled edge around the late 1950's. Metric cutters were stated as an optional extra in widths of 4, 6, 9 and 12mm from 1935. It seems strange that the plough, designed for the light duty use of cutting up to ¼" wide grooves should have the option of metric cutters up to 12mm wide offered. At that time no other manufacturer produced a plough of this design, so this could be Record's own design. It was listed as being "Rustless plated".
The No. 043 was first listed in a small undated publicity catalogue issued between the January 1934 price list and the November 1935, No. 14 Catalogue. Last listed mid 1970's.
