Description

Veritas Code 05P77.01

This is a truly versatile plane. It excels at trimming rabbets; working end grain; or making final jointing cuts on boards; plus you can use it in all the ways you would a regular block plane. The blade is skewed at a 15 degrees angle; which makes cutting easier;either with or across the grain; and helps pull the fence tight against the work. Because the blade sits flush with the side of the body; corner cuts are clean and accurate. A Norris-style adjuster combines feed and lateral positioning for easy; precise blade setting. Set screws on either side of the blade prevent the blade from shifting in use.

A scoring spur ahead of the blade reduces tear-out on cross-grain work; it is adjustable for depth and projection and can be recessed when working with the grain. Machined and surface ground; the contoured 6-3/8inch x 1-3/4inch ductile cast iron body has a 12 degrees bed angle and a movable toe fully enclosed by the body casting. A bubinga locking knob sets the toe to control the mouth opening; while an unobtrusive set screw in the throat allows repeatable mouth positioning and prevents contact between the blade and toe.

Held by a large brass locking knob, a sliding collet allows adjustment of the 3-1/2" wide, 5/16" thick hardwood fence. The fence base is tapped to substitute a user-made fence extension such as a wooden wedge for cutting controlled bevels.

The plane is available in left- and right-hand models (neither is for left- or right-handed use only, but having both lets you handle any grain direction). It comes with a lapped blade 1/8" (0.125") thick, 1-1/2" wide, with a 25° bevel, made of A2 tool steel.

The optional 3-1/2" stainless-steel fence rod (1-1/8" longer than the 2-3/8" rod supplied) lets you add a thicker fence extension (e.g. a tapered spacer for angled cuts) without restricting cutting width.

Patented. Made in Canada.
