Q: What's it best used for?
This miniature router plane's small scale suits fine work such as fitting hardware mortises or cutting recesses for inlay and intarsia, where a full-size router plane would be too large to control.
05P8201 - Veritas Miniature Router Plane
This tiny 3" wide router plane not only looks like its full-size counterpart, it works like it, too. Surprisingly comfortable to hold and maneuver, it is ideal for hardware installation and for fine inlay or intarsia work.
It comes with a 1/8" wide A2 tool-steel blade (hardened to Rc60-62) that can be positioned inboard for standard use or outboard for true bullnose work.
The stainless-steel body has been machined and the sole ground and lapped flat. The sole has also been designed to encircle the blade for maximum registration to a workpiece, and to bridge recesses for stability on narrow stock. The knobs are hardwood.
A fine-screw feed mechanism sets blade depth; blades are secured with a knurled clamping knob. Weighs just 2 oz.
Supplied in an embossed, French-fitted presentation box.
Made in Canada.
Also available in sets with our other miniature tools.

Yes, clamp the blade in the back position instead of the forward one to work right up to a stop or into a corner.
The blade is A2 tool steel hardened to Rc60-62; hone the bevel and lap the bottom on a water stone to keep it cutting cleanly.
Yes, it ships in an embossed, French-fitted presentation box, along with a corrosion-inhibiting paperboard chip that protects the blade for up to two years.
