In an earlier post I mentioned my sextet of Russian (or rather, supposedly Russian) planes. As I’ve continued to research them, however, I’ve come to the conclusion that the final plane in that group may not be Soviet at all.

A single tool, two entirely different roles - Smoother & Scrub Plane - very clever.

Soviet smoothing plane that seems to borrow design cues from Western makers, but don’t quite follow them exactly.

The Record #043 Plough Plane never had a direct Stanley equivalent. However, it did inspire a very close copy from the Soviet Union.
