Veritas Scraping Plane

Veritas Scraping Plane  (Ref: 701915)

The ideal tool for final smoothing
Tear-out virtually eliminated with cutting action of included scraping blade
Bubinga front knob and rear handle
Integral thumbscrew to bow blade to eliminate ridges

The Veritas scraping plane is the ideal tool for final smoothing. Tear-out is virtually eliminated with the cutting action of the included scraping blade. The generous Bubinga front knob and rear handle make it comfortable to use for extended periods and the large sole ensures an accurately flattened surface. The adjustable frog enables blade angles from 0° to 25°, providing fine control of the cutting action. A feature unique to the scraping plane is an integral thumbscrew that bows the blade to eliminate ridges in the work surface caused by blade corners. The plane comes with a 1.4mm (0.055") high-carbon steel blade suited to this technique, and an optional 3.2mm (1/8") thick blade of A2 tool steel is available for those who prefer uncambered blades. Also available is a 3.2mm(1/8") thick A2 tool steel toothed blade at 25 teeth per inch. All blade styles are 73mm(2.7/8") wide, hardened to HRC 48-51, and come with the cutting edges ground at 45°. The 240mm (9.1/2") ductile cast iron body has been fully stress relieved, machined, and surface ground on the sole. Weight is 1.8kg(4lb).

The Veritas Small Scraping Plane is a great tool for the final smoothing of small, flat surfaces, even highly figured timber, or small areas of difficult grain within a larger surface. The scraping plane comes into action after the surface has been prepared as well as possible using a finely tuned smoothing plane. What the scraping plane does is to replace the need for sanding prior to applying a finish. Because the scraping plane cuts the wood fibres rather than tears them, it will further bring out the beauty of the wood grain, rather than mute it as sandpaper would. This plane is supplied with a 50mm by 1mm thick high carbon steel blade with its cutting edge ground at 45°. The pitch, or blade angle, is 20° forward from vertical.

The full width blade and adjustable palm rest (which pivots to either side) allows the plane to be used right up to a vertical face. Depth of cut is regulated by applying camber to the blade. By slightly bowing or arching the blade, you also eliminate ridges in the work surface caused by blade corners.
