The steel is sprayed with blue enamel paint matching the Record colour. The plywood is sprayed with clear lacquer so any glue spillage can be chipped off.
There is a chamfer machined on the outside edges of the plywood to help prevent chipping.
There are 2 choices of plywood pad available to buy. One has a width of 40mm flaring out to 65mm (90mm high). This is for carcase construction (where access might be limited) and general use. The other (120mm x 90mm) is more for gluing panels where access isn’t a problem.
Both fit on the same steel piece.
The plywood is fixed with m4 slotted countersink screws. Slotted screws are used as they are easier to clean out if they get filled with glue etc.
