Q: What is this miniature plane used for?
The miniature shoulder plane is used for fine trimming and for cleaning the bottoms of narrow dados, tasks too tight for a full-size shoulder plane.
05P8001 - Veritas Miniature Shoulder Plane
Weighing a mere 1.7 oz and measuring 2 1/2" long by 1/4" wide, this miniature version of our medium shoulder plane is fully functional and remarkably effective for fine trimming or cleaning the bottoms of narrow dados. It is surprisingly comfortable to hold, making it exceptionally easy to maneuver and control. The investment-cast stainless-steel body has a fixed mouth, with a machined sole and ground sides. A low 15° bed angle combined with the 25° blade bevel provides a 40° cutting angle.
The stainless-steel Norris-style adjuster lets you set the full-width A2 blade (0.060" thick) with precision. Supplied in a French-fitted embossed leatherette box.
Made in Canada. Also available in sets with our other miniature tools.

It's fully functional, not merely decorative. Despite its small size, it cuts real trimming and cleanup work on dado bottoms and shoulders.
Yes, tilt the blade up off the adjustment mechanism and slide it out through the mouth opening for sharpening or replacement.
The corrosion-inhibiting paperboard chip in the case provides continuous protection for up to two years.
Reposition the adjuster's parts by hand back into their proper configuration; the mechanism resets easily without special tools.
