Q: What size chisel does this plane accept?
The Veritas Chisel Plane accepts 1" bevel-edge chisels. Any standard 1" bevel-edge chisel seats at 45° in the ductile cast-iron body.
05P2101 - Veritas Chisel Plane
Rabbet planes used to be widely available, but are now being discontinued by manufacturers. We developed this specialized plane to convert a chisel into a rabbet plane.
The body is made of ductile cast iron and is configured to hold a 1" bevel-edge chisel at a 45° angle, the same pitch as used on bench planes. It becomes a small plane that works equally well as a shoulder plane or rabbet plane and can be used to clean up machine-cut rabbets and tenons. It works like a butt mortise plane for cutting hinge gains. It will also cut 1" dadoes and grooves up to a depth of 3/8".
Precisely machined. Overall size is 1 3/8" wide by 5 1/2" long by 2 1/2" high. The clamping screw is solid brass.
While it excels as a job-site plane, it is equally handy in the shop.

The Veritas Chisel Plane accepts 1" bevel-edge chisels. Any standard 1" bevel-edge chisel seats at 45° in the ductile cast-iron body.
It works as a shoulder plane for trimming tenons and cleaning machine-cut rabbets, as a rabbet plane for general joinery, as a butt mortise plane for cutting hinge gains, and for cutting 1" dadoes and grooves to a depth of 3/8".
45° is the standard pitch for bench planes. Setting the chisel at this angle gives clean, controlled cuts across and along the grain, with the familiar feel of a bench plane rather than a scraping action.
Yes, the body is ductile cast iron, which is precisely machined and strong enough for repeated use in both shop and site conditions.
The plane body is 1 3/8" wide, 5 1/2" long, and 2 1/2" high – compact enough to work inside carcasses and around stopped dados.
