    Hi,

    I've got a Record 0220 block plane but the brass wheel and adjusting screw are missing. Anyone know where I could get these? I've Googled it but without success. :(

    Thanks.

    Only way really is to collect them and make the best you can out of the bits you've got. afaik that particular model had a bit of a flaw if it was handled badly the thread on the adjuster attached to the iron(blade) used to strip.

    I doubt you'll get a part now (other than from another plane) but interestingly it seems that parts were avalaible once apon a time. The part "number" you want is H Cutter Adjusting Screw and probably F Frog Slide (the bit that lost its thread?) which I can see in a 1955 Record Catalog, no prices for the parts but at that time the whole plane would have set you back 16/- which is about a euro :) , a spare blade was 3/3 back then (about 20cents).

    tbh if I was going to spend any time fixing up a block plane I'd start with a better one anything from 09½ to 019 would IMO be better planes worth more effort.

    Try dropping these guys an email they might be able to help http://www.oldtools.co.uk/index.php there are quite a few other similar shops in the UK so you might be able to google up some more like http://www.toolbazaar.co.uk , nothing I know of in Ireland.
