Q: What is a block plane?
A block plane is a small, low-angle hand plane designed for trimming end grain, chamfering edges and other quick, one-handed smoothing tasks.
05P8220 - Veritas Miniature Block Plane
About a third the size of the original, this version of our low-angle block plane is just under 2 1/2" long and 3/4" wide.
It is a useful size for small-scale work or where a larger plane would be difficult to use. The low 12° bed angle combined with the 25° blade bevel gives it a cutting angle of 37°, making it also suitable for end-grain use.
The stainless-steel Norris-style adjuster lets you set the 1/2" wide A2 blade (0.060" thick) with precision. The body is made from investment-cast stainless steel, and has a fixed mouth, machined sides and a ground sole. Weighs 1.7 oz.
Made in Canada, it comes in a French-fitted embossed leatherette box.
Also available in sets with our other miniature tools.
A block plane is a small, low-angle hand plane designed for trimming end grain, chamfering edges and other quick, one-handed smoothing tasks.
Hold it in one hand and push it across the workpiece; the low 12° bed angle and 25° blade bevel give this plane a 37° cutting angle suited to trimming end grain as well as face grain.
Despite its small scale, this miniature block plane is fully functional. The stainless-steel body, A2 blade and Norris-style adjuster work exactly like the full-size original.
It's about a third the size of the standard low-angle block plane, at just under 2 1/2" long and 3/4" wide, making it suited to small-scale work.
It comes packaged in a French-fitted embossed leatherette box, and is also available bundled in sets with the other Veritas miniature tools.
