Description
The Veritas scraping plane is the ideal tool for final smoothing — especially when you have to deal with highly figured wood or reversing grain. With a well-sharpened blade and light cuts you can achieve excellent results on any wood. Tear-out is virtually eliminated with the cutting action of the included scraping blade. The generous hardwood 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 our 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 0.055" high-carbon steel blade suited to this technique. The blade is 2 7/8" wide and hardened to Rc48-51, and comes with the cutting edge ground at 45°.
The 9 1/2" ductile cast iron body has been fully stress relieved, machined, and surface ground on the sole. Weight is 4 lb. Detailed instructions included. Patented. Made in Canada.
An optional 1/8" thick A2 tool steel blade is available for those who prefer uncambered blades.
A 1/8” thick A2 tool steel toothed blade is also available.
