Veritas Low Angle Smoothing Plane

Veritas Low Angle Smoothing Plane A2  (Ref: 701899)

A low-angle smoothing plane has three key uses. It is used to smooth surfaces, preferably taking a diagonal cut, partly across and partly along the grain. With its generous side wings, it is ideal for shooting mitres. Finally, it is excellent for end-grain work. The low cutting angle of 37° minimizes fibre tearing. With a bed angle of 12°, this is a bevel-up plane, like a low-angle block. It features an adjustable mouth with a unique stop-screw, a combined feed and lateral adjustment knob for blade setting, and a generous Bubinga front knob and rear handle. The ductile cast iron body is 254 x 63mm(10" X 2.1/2").

Overall weight is just over 1.1kg(3.1/2 lb.). The 25° bevel blade is 50mm(2") wide by 3.2mm(1/8") thick, lapped, and made of A2 tool steel. For working difficult grain, additional blades are available with 38° or 50° bevels in A2 or O1 steel, and a toothed A2 blade. The toothed blade is ideal for working with difficult grain, especially knots. The small, square teeth leave a textured surface that can be smoothed with a finely set plane or a scraper. Supplied with an A2 blade with a 25° bevel.

Veritas Jointer Fence  (Ref: 100583)

The Veritas Jointer Fence allows you to shoot accurate and consistent square or bevelled edges with iron or steel bench planes. The integral rare earth magnets make it quick and easy to attach or remove the fence from the side of the plane whilst holding it firmly in position. Holes are provided in the fence for screwing on wedge shaped strips when planing bevels other than 90°.

The fence has a stop pin which can be fitted in a choice of positions depending on which size of plane (Nos. 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8) is being used and whether on the left or right hand side. This pin positions the fence correctly and stops it from sliding backwards during use. Black anodised aluminium with brass fittings give the fence the Veritas trademark appearance.
