This plane is used for rabbeting works in joinery and carpentry. The Record 778 plane is an improved version of the Record 078. This plane has a full width blade and a side fence with two bars. This makes the plane more accurate. The fence moves in and out to control the width of the rebate. The plane is also fitted with a depth stop to control the depth of the rebate. The plane has two positions for the blade: i) one at the front for use of the plane as a bullnoseii) the second position more commonly used approximately a third of the length of plane in from the front.The blade is secured by a cap iron with screw. The blade is adjustable in and out of the cutting face of the plane by means of an adjustable screw which registers in a hole in the plane blade. This make adjustment of the plane blade more accurate than the Record 078 and less likely to move once set. The 778 has a spur which can be turned to protrude at the base and cut/scribe the edge of the rabbet being formed, reducing chipping etc. especially when going across the grain.The Record 778 rebate plane has a length of 8 1/2" (21.6cm), a 1 1/2" (3.8cm) cutter and weighs approximately 1.70kg (3 3/4lb). Body : high grade cast iron Cap Iron : high grade cast iron Fence : high grade cast iron Blade : tungsten vanadium steel Plane finish : Record stove enemel
