VERITAS

About a third the size of the original, this version of our low-angle block plane is just under 2 1/2" long and 3/4" wide.

It is a useful size for small-scale work or where a larger plane would be difficult to use. The low 12° bed angle combined with the 25° blade bevel gives it a cutting angle of 37°, making it also suitable for end-grain use.

The stainless-steel Norris-style adjuster lets you set the 1/2" wide A2 blade (0.060" thick) with precision. The body is made from investment-cast stainless steel, and has a fixed mouth, machined sides and a ground sole. Weighs 1.7 oz.

Made in Canada, it comes in a French-fitted embossed leatherette box.
