Veritas Medium Shoulder Plane with PM-V11 Blade Kit

The Veritas Medium Shoulder Plane is proportioned for versatility; it measures 7'' long by 11/16'' wide and weighs 2 lb. The ductile cast iron body is accurately machined and ground so that the sole and sides are flat and square. If you have ever used or even held a traditional shoulder plane, you will appreciate how this plane comes to hand. The unique lever cap with a pivoting knob lets you adjust the plane to fit your hand and preferred holding style. The concave knob rests in the web of your hand, giving you a secure grip without the need of a vise-like pressure. The through-hole in the body adds to grip security but has to be experienced to be understood. The plane’s adjustable toe lets you narrow the mouth for very fine shavings with minimum tearout. The low bed angle of 15° combined with the 25° blade bevel results in a cutting angle of 40° for exceptional end-grain cutting performance. Set screws along the side let you accurately position the blade and require no adjustment when replacing the blade after sharpening.

Includes a lapped, 1/8''-thick PM-V11 alloy blade.
