Veritas" Small Shoulder Plane

Designed to seat nicely in the hand, our smallest shoulder plane is easily controlled using a one-handed grip. At 6W long by W wide and weighing 1 lb 2 oz, it is proportioned to handle multiple tasks, from trimming shoulders for a perfect fit to cleaning the bottom of dadoes. The lever cap wraps around the rear of the body, shrouding the blade adjustment mechanism so it does not obstruct the grip while acting as a comfortable rest for the palm. Textured recesses cast into the side of the body provide grip points for fingers. The ductile cast iron body is accurately machined and ground so that the sole and sides are flat and square, allowing the plane to be used on its side for accurately shooting the shoulder of a tenon. The plane's adjustable toe lets you restrict the mouth for fine shavings with minimum tear-out. The low bed angle of 15° combined with the 25° blade bevel results in a cutting angle of 40c for exceptional end-grain cutting. The lapped blade is Vs" (0.125") thick, Vz" wide, and is available in either A2 or 01 tool steel. Made in Canada. Patented.
