Q: What is this miniature plane based on?
It's a 1:3-scale version of the full-size Veritas iron edge-trimming plane, reproducing the same bedding and skew angles in a fully functional miniature.
05P8101 - Veritas Miniature Edge Plane
A 1:3-scale version of our current iron edge plane, which is the third-generation design of a model we first produced in 1986, this is a fully functional miniature. Useful for fine trimming work on thin stock up to 3/8" thick, such as with small-scale boxes or maquettes, it fits the hand well, making it easy to control under fingertip pressure.
The 2 3/8" long body and lever cap are machined, investment-cast stainless steel. The 0.060" thick by 1/2" wide A2 steel blade has a 25° bevel angle and, like the original, is bedded at 12° and skewed at 30°. The blade position and depth of cut are easily set by hand. Weighs a mere 1.6 oz.
Presented in a French-fitted embossed leatherette box, this diminutive edge plane makes a great gift for any woodworker or tool aficionado.
Made in Canada.
Also available in sets with our other miniature tools.
It's a 1:3-scale version of the full-size Veritas iron edge-trimming plane, reproducing the same bedding and skew angles in a fully functional miniature.
This Veritas miniature edge plane is fully functional, useful for fine trimming on thin stock up to 3/8" thick, such as small-scale boxes or maquettes, not just a display piece.
The A2 steel blade is ground with a 25-degree bevel and bedded at 12 degrees, skewed at 30 degrees, matching the geometry of the full-size edge-trimming plane it's scaled from.
It weighs a mere 1.6 oz, light enough to control entirely with fingertip pressure while trimming.
Keep it in its leatherette case with the included corrosion-inhibiting paperboard chip, which protects the stainless-steel body and blade for up to two years in a closed case.
Yes, a separate A2 replacement blade is available, so a worn edge can be replaced without buying a new plane.
