   I have a Record 45, just because I love molding planes and, a long time ago before I knew any better,  I thought it would be cool to have a "universal" molder. I have used it -- I once made several rooms of 3-piece baseboard with it. It's such a PIA to use though, I'll use it only as a last resort for molding work of any sort. (Works OK as a plough, though.)

   IMHO, molding planes need a pretty narrow mouth to work well. A blade just hanging out in mid air, like those on these combo planes, just don't cut it. (Pun intended.)

   The record has marginally greater capacity, and a better depth adjustment.

   The stanley comes in two flavours; older, with metal handle, and newer, with a nice warm wooden handle.

   But all these work around as well as each other; the similarities greatly out weight the differences.

   I need advice on how to secure the small cutter (1/8, 3/16) on record 050 combination plane. They are too narrow for the tightening screw to secure it.
   Thanks.

   Patrick’s Blood and Gore has the answer to your specific question for the Stanley #50, hopefully it also applies to the Record version:
